Is this too risky?

[DesertMoon]

So my family might be taking Julian for a week DH and I want to spend some time in Toronto on a bit of a babymoon hanging out before we become a family of 4. I have a lot of markets I love ere and I want to visit he art district.

i found a groupon for a cruise on the lake with lunch...or dinner whatever you like. They are 2-3 hrs. Do you think it's a bad idea for me to place myself on a boat at 36-37 weeks pregnant? Also would a helicopter ride be way too crazy?

[bebeetmoi]

The boat ride I wouldn't have an issue with, but the helicopter ride I definitely would.

The boat should be fine but I probably wouldn't do the helicopter.

My first thought is motion sickness. With my pregnancies I got so motion sick. Do you know if this is an issue for you?

No I'm good with boats and I have no issues with motion sickness. I wish I had looked earlier because there's a nice cottage getaway a few hrs out that I would have totally loved to visit...but it's too far from my hospital.

If it were me, I wouldn't go on a boat (or a helicopter!!) at 36/37 weeks. I went into labor at 37.5 though, so the thought of that makes me nervous. I mean, obviously, in an emergency they'd turn the boat around and take you back. But, still.

I keep thinking, well it's only Lake Ontario, and it's just a couple hrs...could it really happen like that?

[carawestt]

Yes to boat, no to helicopter.

[laurack]

I'd do either but I tend to go overdue or extremely overdue haha

Attachment DeletedHow about this.

It's 2 hours from Toronto and I've always wanted to stay In a chalet.

lol, Beaver Creek.

I would do the boat but not the helicopter. But I would probably never do a helicopter ride, pregnant or not.

Hmm, maybe beaver creek is a sign if I go my beaver with be up a creek with no paddle.

ok boat ride it is.

CHARGE YOUR PHONE!! Ahh!! You and creamsiclechica are going to be the death of me.

In theory, I think a boat or helicopter would be fine. My bigger concern would be your comfort level, especially on a helicopter. A tiny cockpit doesn't seem like the most comfortable place to be when you're huge.

Why I still have 3 percent on this bad boy, I like to ride it out to the end.

[creamsiclechica]

muppetinma, I'm living on the edge over here at 13% again. (Kiss)

I say the boat could be okay, not the helicopter. Mostly because of comfort and swelling. Pregnant on a boat might be different because your equilibrium is different, so you might be more apt to motion sickness.

[muppetinma]

72%. A nice, safe amount. Andrew just locked me out of the house. Luckily, I was able to get in through the garage. But what would have happened if I couldn't? 3%?!? Seriously, makes me beyond panicky. You two are HORRIBLE PEOPLE!! (kiss)

But if you were on a helicopter and went into labor they could get you to a hospital much more quickly than if you were on a boat!

Don't hospitals have helicopter landing pads or is that one of those things that is only real on tv ...

Boat cruise no issue - the boats are larger and they just cruise around the harbour front of lake ontario - they are never very far from shore and there are tons of water taxis available.

Helicopter ride - no way, Jose!
