Going on a trip, need advice please!!!

Is it safe to go horseback riding while pregnant?

Aloha from Kaua%26#39;i!





Not quite sure why this question is posed in this forum, but --- when I worked for a horseback riding stable here on Kaua%26#39;i, we would not take pregnant women - unless they had a Doctor%26#39;s note saying that it was alright, and even then, it was sketchy. Why take the risk?





Maybe someone else more equestrienne-savvy than myself could answer your question.

This website might be insightful as it addresses it....

When I was pregnant, I would not risk it.




As a fellow pregnant woman, can I suggest that you talk to your doctor/midwife about this and not a message board!!!!





I will tell you that my OB told me that it was okay to do some things that I would consider risky early on in my pregnancy (like ride rollarcoasters...which I chose not to do). I personally prefer to error on the side of caution with this sort of stuff. Talk to you health care provider!!!
