Pregnant and cave tubing?

[amy86]

I will be 22 weeks pregnant (5 1/2 months) when our NCL cruise stops in Belize in October. Trying to decide if cave tubing is something I can/should handle? It sounds like the most strenuous activity is the 30 min. walk to the caves, but even that isn't a tough walk, is it? I am in good physical shape otherwise.

 

I've e-mailed a few tour operators to get their thoughts, and I will obviously discuss with my doctor as well, but just looking for opinions from those who have done it?

 

Thanks!!

I think you will be fine especially if your honey carries your tube it was not strenuous to me at all it was actually a relaxing time except if there is a current but the guide will turn you! enjoy

The walk is not that steep, kind of flat in some areas. Just little hills. We went w/ Major Tom and they carried my wife and sons' tubes so I'm sure most operators would carry your tube. I think you will be fine.

The only part of the walk that was strenuous, for me, was carrying the tube. It was fine for a while but eventually I wanted to throw the thing in the woods! So if someone else will carry your tube, it should be ok! Just wear sturdy shoes. Very rocky in some parts.
