Hi was thinking of going camping over Easter but OH would have to put the tent up with our 11 year old . Anyone else camped while pregnant? Any advice welcome.
Hi yes I have camped twice at that gestation. No problems at all just dont overdo it. Make sure you have a really comfy chair that lies back a little because at the end of the day you will need it. I took an inflatable sofa with a throw which was fab. Getting up and down off low airbeds is fun if you are the size I was, lol. Cant think of anything else really,we camped in france both times and it was really hot so shade was a definite need, but had a great time and you couldnt get me out of the pool, was the only place I could cool down properly, haha. Oh and camp within a reasonable distance of the loos, since as you know, you will need them every 5 mins!
Thanks definately think we should go I can't cope looking at sites and thinking we cant camp this season. Got good chairs and airbeds. I'm thinking of going on the sons single with sleeping bag and 11 year old can share double with OH as I can get off single to side but on double we have to get off at the feet!
Just need son to help hold poles with me as they quite heavy on our tent.
Thanks for reassurance
Yes definitely go and have a great time, im just like you couldnt resist it, i really love camping.! The airbed situation sounds good too, but you might find it uncomfy in a single sleeping bag as it might be quite snug so think about what you can best do about that. Good idea to get your 11 year old to help, they actually really like to get involved and it will mean you are not doing too much bending and lifting, leave it to them wherever possible.
Good luck with it all and congrats on your pregnancy, put your feet up enjoy some sun, (hopefully) and have a lovely holiday.
