Question about floating on a river
I'm 5 weeks and 3 days today and I'm going to a bachelorette in Austin this weekend. Part of the plans are to go float the river. Is this ok for me? I'm thinking the water will be cold but how cold is too cold?
Cold water is fine, the only concerns are with hot water (like hot tubs) because that can lead to decreased oxygen to the baby. Have fun!
As long as ur comfortable, it should be fine. Lots of sunscreen!!
Thank you!! That makes me feel better. This is my first pregnancy so I just wanted to make sure.
Your body will keep the baby warm. Pools are usually colder and those are fine. It's 90 degrees in my area and my doc said swimming and kayaking were still ok. I'm 22 wks. You're still too early for your baby t feel anything at all so go on and get some fun exercise. :)
