Hiking whilst pregnant

At what point in your pregnancy did you stop doing long walks / hikes? I'm 25 weeks, still comfortably walking for 3 or 4 hours at a time. The past couple of days, I've had a really strong urge to do snowdon again, and now I'm set on doing before baby is here. So I'm wondering at what point am I going to be too uncomfortable to do long walks? Do I need to do it in the next couple of weeks 🤣

You know your body best! Stop when it tells you to stop. In the meantime, enjoy 🩷🥰

Agree listen your body… I’m 36 weeks tomorrow and although not going to attempt showdown anytime soon🤣 still doing muddy walks and when I feel I can 2+ hour walks… unless advised otherwise or my body doesn’t feel good about it I’m not going to stop☺️

Exactly what Nicole said. Honestly, i still can walk up to 10km, but not every day. On my 34-week, i went on a city break with my husband to Dublin and walked the first day 25 km and the second day 17km. Now i'm 39+1

If you really want to do it pregnant I’d suggest doing it sooner rather than later just incase pgd sets in. My hips stopped me from hiking in the 2nd half of my pregnancy but if you don’t have any issues then you can keep going for as long as you’re comfortable x

Perfect, thank you all. I think I'm going to look at going before 30 weeks, just incase! @Lexie I hope I'm still able to walk that far at 34 weeks, that's amazing! x

Just listen to your body. I would t mind doing snowdon while pregnant . At least I can say I conquered something.

I've just come back from hiking at 32 weeks, not at my usual speed I will say... Just POV, make sure you're drinking enough water (more than you think) and having regular snacks is all I'd suggest. Your body will tell you when you've had enough and take a break. ❤️

@Abby what a lovely picture 😍 I love seeing how active all you beautiful mommas have stayed. It's definitely made my mind up to stay active, and conquer snowdon again before baby comes! Thank you all ❤️

I was walking miles up until induction with both. 41.5 weeks and 40 weeks. I didn't go too far from a road towards the end though, just in case I went into labour up a hill 🤣

I was the same as Helena, right up until a few days before! And started to do less rural walks too 😆
