guns.

I got an early bday present (21st is my bday) from my hubby. a 20 guage pump shotgun, I've always loved to shoot and I been wondering if its okay for me to shoot it since I'm pregnant. are there any reasons as to why I can't? Ftm here so don't want to hurt my little girl.

Personally I only shot my hand gun until about 24ish weeks when I noticed she would kick like crazy after every shot. My husband bought me a 20 gauge as well but I never shot it and ended up selling it instead just to have extra money for a fun shopping spree (: since I can't go hunting this season anyways ):

It depends on how far along you are.My husband and I like to go shooting. But depending on far along you are it could affect the baby's hearing. So I have heard you could but up to a certain point.

I think you should be fine especially if your experienced with the recoil. However your husband is brave foe giving a hormonal pregnant woman a gun.

How far along are you? Maybe not a pump action because it requires force but shooting is fine maybe if he pumps it for you..
