in Success after IF
So I have a friends bachelorette party Scheduled for mid August which is going to be on a yaht ride for 3 hours out on the lake. I will be JUST getting into my 2nd trimester and I wasn't sure if anyone has heard of any rules for being able to go on boats? I know there's plane rules...but I just want to be sure.

    As long as you feel up to it, I don't see any reason why you couldn't go.

    The plane thing is more later in pregnancy because of the change in pressure or something.

    I think that is perfectly fine.  As long as it is a large enough boat that it isn't jarring you to death, I'd go and have a great time!!

    Should be totally fine.   I would think the only worry would be falls - so just be careful with your footing if it is wavy or the boat is moving.    Have fun!

    It is totally fine.

    I have gone on several boat rides the past few weeks and I'm almost 37 weeks ;)

    Have fun!

    I would think a big boat like that is fine.  We have a ski boat and my dr said not to ride on it while pregnant because of the waves and constant bouncing, but it would be way less on a yacht.  Enjoy!

    I went boating while PG.  No problems as long as you are not walking around if it is wavy because you would not want to fall.

    I've boated my entire pregnancy on something smaller than a yacht :) On a big enough boat, you will hardly feel the waves. My baby is perfectly fine and dandy - we go out with my dad as our captain and he obviously knows to keep away from hard bumps.

    When I was about 17-18 weeks we went to Japan for BIL's wedding and one of the events was a booze cruise.  I didn't even think about it being a problem and it wasn't for me.  I  didn't have any motion sickness issues. 

    I'm sure as long as it isn't speed boating or something your should be okay.
