Second trimester would be the most recommended period as most pregnant women feel most energized. ItвЂ™s probably not very comfortable to be camping during the first and third trimester. Most pregnant women have morning sickness during their first trimesters and in third trimester, our baby bump may be too big and heavy and we may feel tired more easily. When in doubt, always speak to your gynae for advice. The health of both you and your child is of the utmost importance during a pregnancy. If you feel unwell or donвЂ™t feel good sleeping in the woods, trust your gut feeling.

A low-risk pregnancy? Even if it is, access your own health condition. Your Overall Health / Your GynaeвЂ™s ApprovalДЇirst of all, is your pregnancy a high-risk one? If it is, always seek your gynaeвЂ™s approval before embarking on a camping trip. Things To Consider Before Going For A Camping Trip If you are going to be camping during your pregnancy, hereвЂ™s some tips on what to look out for and what to pack to ensure a comfortable (and enjoyable) trip: Always know your condition and remember that yours and your babyвЂ™s health and safety is at utmost priority! If you are unsure, do make sure to consult your gynae on what outdoor activities you can do.

So donвЂ™t follow me blindly and do it just because I did and nothing happened to me. Besides, there need to be some extra effort taken for camping during pregnancy. After all, I have always been an outdoor person pre-pregnancy and my level of tolerance towards the wild can be quite high as compared to other mommies. What is comfortable for me may not be comfortable for other mommies out there. While it is perfectly fine for me to be camping in my third trimester (and at 35 weeks pregnant, quite late in pregnancy and due to deliver soon), every pregnant womanвЂ™s body works differently. Of course, IвЂ™m not suggesting that you should be running a marathon, hiking a big mountain, carrying a heavy backpack or ride a bumpy 4wd, but milder outdoor activities such as picnicking, brisk walking, easy trekking (flatter terrain and shorter distance) and car camping is technically okay and safe for pregnant mommies. IвЂ™ve always been into outdoor activities pre-pregnancy, so I do not see a reason why I should limit myself into staying indoor all the time. Some would think that itвЂ™s a crazy idea but I belong to the group of mommies who believe in the benefit of working out and staying active during pregnancy, as long as it is safe, non-strenuous and your pregnancy is low-risk. Those who read my previous blog post on Sungai Sendat car camping would know that I went camping while being pregnant at 35 weeks.
