Maybe see about getting a prescription for diclectin (I think it's called something different in the states, but essentially the morning sickness medication) before you go. I had morning sickness to the point that if I stood up, I threw up between 1pm and 8pm. You'd hate to be completely stuck in your hotel praying to the porcelain gods the entire trip.

DH and I went to Paris for a week when I was about 14 weeks pregnant. It wasn't really an adventure type vacation but we did do a lot of walking. I even walked up the Arc de Triomphe and one of the towers at the Notre Dame cathedral (a lot of stairs!!). I felt good the entire trip. We made sure to keep me well hydrated and took lots of breaks.

I'm sure you will have a great time! Iceland sounds amazing!

I went to New Zealand from like 10-13 weeks. I had to cancel some of the hardcore stuff (caving, bungee jumping) but otherwise I was fine. Just go at a pace you can handle, and yes, drink lots of water.

We lived in Alberta while I was pregnant with both our girls, and I skied, hiked, snowshoed, all that kind of stuff no problem. I was able to do some pretty serious hiking when i was 8 months pregnant with my first, and aside from needing to take it slower than I might have chosen to normally, it was great!
Have fun! I have always wanted to go to Iceland!

We live in the mts and I'm currently 10w pregnant and we do hike every weekend still. I'm very very slow now though. I also jog during the week but go slowly. I think if you are in shape and did it pre pregnancy why not? Just listen to your body and snack and drink water and take breaks as needed.

I did some pretty intense hiking at glacier national park was I was 28 weeks and was fine, but I ran and/or swam almost every day of my pregnancy to that point. Like PPs have said, as long as you aren't pushing your body beyond what's normal and comfortable for you, you should be fine. Definitely stay hydrated and well fed and take breaks when you're tired. Have fun!

We went to Egypt when I was pregnant and did a lot of walking/hiking/climbing. In fact, here I am up a mountain in the desert! I think it just depends how you feel! just take lots of water with you, listen to your body and stop for breaks when you need to. Oh and don't do anything too dangerous - for example, I didn't ride a camel in the desert (DH did) in case I fell off!!

I went on a hiking vacation at 8 or 9 weeks pregnant last time and we just made sure to always have enough water and food. We also alternated between strenous days and days which were more about relaxation.
