    I would up until maybe 5 to 5 1/2 months. After that bump just gets in the way.

    I body surfed last time I was pregnant (4 months I think). But I kept rolling off the board!

    I went backapacking in Iceland 2 weeks ago at 6 months pregnant. Admittedly this didnt involve skiing, but it did involve pulling a suitcase and tent around, camping in a storm in a leaky tent and doing about a 1/2hour climb up a steep hill pulling all my luggage.

    If youve been healthy so far I think being pregnant isnt as delicate state as its made out to be. After all women work physically hard in 3rd world countries nearly right up until the birth. And then afterwards there right back out in the fields with babies strapped to their backs. Im not advocating it as a good idea, but I think the human body is more reslilent that we think. I guess only you know how healthy you are. I seem to have textbook pregnancies so im not too worried about losing my babies. I can see for some women pregnancy is a most delicate time.

    Good luck whatever you do.

    I would not if I were you, the odds are too high that you might fall.

    If you be awary and ski with care, I really dont see what the prob would be. Just stick to the green and blue runs...

    Dumb question...

    How does falling when you are skiing hurt the baby??

    I seem to fall on my butt or elbows and never have had anything come remotely close to my stomach while skiing.

    Just wondering.

    Thanks all for your responses,

    Katiekitten- Yeah I agree, the body is a pretty resilent thing, one Dr said if you could do it before being pregnant you could do it now. I guess as I have had a couple of miscarriages I wont risk it

    LOL @ the baby on board sign luv it!!!!

    Kudra- Its prob being more weary of other people knocking into you without you knowing it. Ive been skiing so fast and lost my balance that I have rolled a bit as well

    I would ski until the baby got so big that I knew if anything happened, my body couldn't protect it any longer from a fall. I would ski up to the second trimester then stop.
