Just got my BFP - worried about sailing

I crew on a sailboat and race 1-2 nights per week.   I am wondering if anyone else has sailed during their 1st tri.  I am a little paranoid.  I think my stomach knew last week that something was up - I was nauseous nearly the whole time I was on the water.  I my postions on the boat require a fair amount of lifting / strength (arms and legs) and do get jostled around quite a bit on the boat.

    Maybe you're just experiencing some motion sickness now that you're pregnant? But if you think you're doing too much, definitely scale it back. Make sure you talk to your doctor.

    I'll have to take it day by day - if it is really windy or if the lake is choppy - we do get thrown around quite a bit (and I have the bruises to show for it) and we are always bumping each other (sometimes it is a sharp elbow to a random body part).  Here's hoping Ma Nature will cooperate with some nice calm days so I can stay on the water.  Will be setting up my first doctor appointment soon and this will be a topic for discussion.

    When I got my first BFP, I was in Punta Cana and we were going out snorkeling (I brought a few tests and got the faintest line that I thought wasn't accurate). Anyway, I have been out sailing, and on boats more times than I can count and this time was so horrible. I was so sick, and kept my head down praying for them to bring us back in soon. I suppose it was the flood of hormones, but I won't go on a boat if I know I'm og after that! Everyone of course is different though!! GL!

    I used to race in a women's league and yeah I would say 1st tri will be ok but I wouldn't after that.  Right now you will have to decide if you can get past the nausea.  I was on a j24 so I usually was up front.  Just in case that makes a difference.

    Thanks, Tigger.  I am on a Cayanne 41 - think supersized T10 with running backstays.  I am doing pit and trim.  I had been on the mast.  Skipper moved me back in the cockpit last season after I had some knee issues in the off season.  She knew we were TTC and thought getting me off the deck would be a little easier on me.  Forecast for Monday (next practice) is 8kt and <1ft waves.  I think I can handle that.  ;)  I am in a women's league, too!  Do some Friday sailing when I have time (not this week - bad head cold is killing me!).
