[Submitted Question]

My husband and I are planning a trip to the mountains in a couple of weeks. We are quite active people and were planning on doing some hiking etc. Now I am not sure if that would be a bad idea as I will be almost three months pregnant at that time. I would hate to cancel the trip as it will probably be quite a while until we can go off like that again but I definitely do not want to hurt the baby. What should I do?

Talk to your doctor, for sure. You don’t indicate that you’ve had any complications or scares during this trip. My guess is that your doctor will tell you to go on your vacation. And even hike. Skip the rock-climbing and other, more risky endeavors. Just listen to your body, especially at higher altitudes. Rest when you’re tired. Make sure that you get plenty to eat and drink. If you have the slightest bit of cramping, take a break and put your feet up.

This isn’t the time to take “extreme” vacations but activity and exercise, in moderation, is generally good for you and for baby.

Your Doctor can give you better answer of this question because he knows your situation best!
I think you should Avoid Hiking and take a lot of rest at home!
