good for you!

I went to Gran Canaria when I was pregnant with my 1st child, although not 8 months obviously. I presume they have hospitals all over the UK that would have delivered your baby !! LOL

Aww bless 'em for worrying

Hi

i went camping whilst pregnant loved every minute no problems at all my kids also love it now aswell

I`ve camped through all my pregnancies...during the first one I was still cycle-camping with Hubby up to seven months, then with the other two I was camping at cycle rallies at seven months and six months respectively, though I was only managing about thirty miles per day on the bike by the third one. I`d have been quite happy to go at eight months if I`d been nearish to a hospital, and had other adults around to help out a bit with the kids etc.

A friend of mine went to a similar cycle rally at two weeks before her due date, cycled all week then the following Monday went in to have a planned section. We did all think she was a bit crazy, mind you, especially as her Hubby was not there but at home working. We only told her after that we were going to totally ignore her requests to be driven home at the first sign of early labour (the rally was in Yorkshire, home was Edinburgh!!) and manhandle her straight to the local maternity unit.

(It was funny, actually...the only pair of cycle shorts she could get on round her bump was an old pair of bib shorts of my big Hubby`s. He`s never been able to bring himself to wear them since.)

I went twice when I was expecting at 20 wks and 28 wks.  I love it and the only problem I had was numerous oilet expeditions and my hubby had to pull me off the airbed as I couldn't get up on my own!!

Going in 3 weeks time with the kids for the first time aged 2 1/2 and 5 months. Any Advise???

I'm afraid we cancelled our July break cos I coudn't face chucking up in toilet blocks with everyone listening (assuming I could get there in time. We're hoping to go in Sept by which point I'll be 4mths.

I was chatting to a friend who camped with morning sickness - she just puking in the bushes by the tent as she couldn't get to the loos in time.
