Is it ok/safe?

Just wondering if its ok or safe to go fishing on a boat? It's not a big boat it's small 6 person boat but was unsure about being chucked around a bit! I'm 23 weeks. Anybody else go fishing while pregnant?

There is no reason you can't go on a boat. I don't know what makes your mother in law think it's not ok.

With my first we went boating all the time on very large lakes. Don't know where you are but the only time I was worried was when the water was very cold and then I wouldn't swim.

Well I needed to ask bcos my mother in law told me I definatly cannot go on a boat! And no other family members go fishing so I wouldn't know unless I asked a wider circle of people.

I can't believe the things I read on this app. I get some good laughs. The baby is always subjected to mom's movements. The baby is in fluid and tosses and turns all by itself. The baby is well cushioned by the fluid.

If it's super wavy then we just went slow and trolled. We also just went on lakes which aren't very big and the waves didn't get huge. I love fishing and I couldn't give it up! Everytime My husband went without me I was depressed lol.

I don't think the waves will be so big ill fall out it's only when launching and getting through the breaking waves it'll be a bit bouncy which normally I love! Yes was actually wondering if I might get sick I don't usually but being pregnant not sure... Thanks for your responses! :)

Risk number 1 is falling out.... that isnt gonna be safw for anybody.
Use a lifebelt and dont move about much. Your balance probably wont be great but if your careful i cant see a problem
