No issues, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! I was not going to miss out while in Belize :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1867320 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 05:19:38 +0000 cmbknyc 1867320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I snorkeled at 20 weeks no problem! The only personal issue I had was that the water was very choppy that day and I got very nauseous while snorkeling so while it was lots of fun and beautiful I didn't feel so great. But I'm the exception to the rule I'm sure! Have fun!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1867318 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 05:09:00 +0000 FaithFertility 1867318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@enjollah: yep snorkled @ 15weeks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1867306 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 03:59:55 +0000 lamariniere 1867306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Snorkeling is fine, scuba diving is not.

The issue with scuba diving is that pregnancy will mess with the rate of nitrogen off-gassing on ascent - leading to greater chance of decompression sickness, or the bends. Also, there is a chance that the bubbles might pass through the placenta and harm the baby. But with snorkeling there is no nitrogen absorption, and no chance of off-gassing too quickly. You're good to go! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1867112 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 20:51:39 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1867112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snorkeled on my baby moon at 28 weeks. Just know that you might get really cold and really hungry sooner than you might expect. I was like "must eat food NOW!" So bring snacks and a change of clothes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1867069 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 20:28:35 +0000 wheres_c 1867069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I snorkeled, no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866975 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 19:44:38 +0000 Raindrop 1866975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 12 weeks when I went snorkeling for the first time. </p> <p>I asked my OB about it, she said I should be fine but she says a lot of women under estimate their water intake at the beach ... the heat and stuff... she says make sure I bring more water than I think I need to stay hydrated. :)</p> <p>You should just double check with your OB just in case :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866973 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 19:44:23 +0000 Cole 1866973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still swim at 36 weeks and would not hesitate to snorkel. If you're worried I would call and ask but I would bet it's fine! Have fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866968 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 19:40:39 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1866968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds totally fine!

She just said no scuba diving :) The only thing I remember being super cautious about was making sure my belly (which was massive at that point) didn't hit the coral. Have a great time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866844 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:33:06 +0000 wonderstruck 1866844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be quite surprised if it's an issue so early in pregnancy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866842 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:31:13 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1866842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You could always check with your ob! Im sure its probably fine, although you may feel motion sick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snorkel-during-pregnancy#post-1866838 Wed, 17 Sep 2014 18:26:47 +0000 enjollah 1866838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So DH and I are going on vacation in 2 weeks and I'm really early into my pregnancy... Like 4 weeks, 1 day early. I haven't had my first appointment yet and probably won't until we come back from vacation. I had plan to snorkel a lot on this trip (using just fins and a snorkel mask) but now that I think about it, I wonder if there are any precautions with being underwater. Any bees have any experience with this? Any advice would be lovely :) </p>
