    Yes, skiing is on the "don'ts" list.

    Well don't clean FFS - do something else fun!  As I tell my H, I'm allergic to cleaning bathrooms I'm sure it would be bad to bring an allergy attack on while pregnant!!!  Wink

    you can't ski, no, bad idea, but you can totally play in the snow, build a snowman (or snow baby!) and have hot cocoa. 

    cleaning the bathroom sounds like a terrible idea.

    ugh, sadly it's a no-no.  I'm a big time snowboarder and this season has been really hard to stay away from the slopes, esp. since we've had lots of snow in the East!

    Maybe I'll take the dog and go snow shoeing instead...I agree that cleaning was a horrible idea Wink

    My sister did until 17 weeks with her first. And she's an OB! Then, she decided her balance was off and she stopped. I don't think I'd do it...but I'm a terrible skier.

    Sadly no.  We had a big ski trip planned for a year.  I still went, but I shopped instead.  Still fun, but not quite the same!

    Eh, I went skiing when I was 7 weeks.  I'm a good skier, but I took it really slow and stuck to blues and greens.  One of my good friends skied with me and she was 12 weeks.  No problem, just be careful.  If you suck at skiing, that's a different story.

    Actually it would be my first time, so definitely NOT a good idea...we moved to a town 10 mins away from a ski resort in September and the one thing I wanted to try this winter was downhill skiing...o well!

    We got 4 feet of snow over the past 3 days and DH says it's perfect for skiing- he's out there now and I wish I was too!
