The Pregnancy Expert
Category: MrZ |

MrZoot has researched pregnancy in and out since the FIRST time we got pregnant. He’s becoming quite the expert and I don’t even bother looking anything up anymore because I know he already has. However, he sent me this tidbit this morning that I was unaware of.

Avoid such activities as downhill skiing, horseback riding, mountain climbing, and contact sports (like football or soccer) that could put you at risk for injury or a fall.

No FOOTBALL? WTF? I’m a linebacker for my team, how are they to play without me? I was SURE I could play football at least until the third trimester. And no downhill skiing? We have ski slopes all over northern Alabama, how am I supposed to entertain myself the rest of the winter? Luckily they didn’t say I couldn’t snowboard or that I would need to skip my rugby season - so I guess I’ll just stick to those activities. This pregnancy thing sucks.

    Looks like you’re free to run with a sharp stick in your hand too. Which, as we all know, will be funny until someone puts an eye out.

  3. Broad Says:

    Ok, so I’m guessing the pregnancy SARCASM has kicked in already. ;)
    Congratulations to all three of you, hon!

    No mountain climbing?! *Gasp!*
    Makes me sure glad I’m not pregnant, so I can climb all these mountains we have here in Houston. ;)
    That means no chasing after the dogs, Zoot. You know if you do that you’re just asking for them to trip you…

  5. gwen Says:

    hell… that doesn’t sound like sarcasm to me… that sounds like zoot is already sick of being pregnant, and maybe she didn’t want this as much as she claimed. see zoot, you have to be careful what you ask for! :)

    No fencing for you, either. And stay away from the sumo ring, you hear me? I do recommend ice cream, though. It’s milk, right? Pregnant women should drink a lot of milk, one way or another.

  7. Tammy Says:

    ROFLMAO!!! Zoot you always crack me up!!

    No mention of Indoor Sports, so y’all are good to go.

  9. cursingmama Says:

    How will you ever spend your time? Surely you can’t limit yourself to shopping at target, watching tivo, playing on the computer and eating krispy kreme’s!

  10. Dana Says:

    You’re just going to have to start knitting like a good pregnant girl!

  11. Croila Says:

    And guess what. After it’s born … you won’t have the time or energy to do any of these things ANYWAY! :-0

  12. pookiesmom Says:

    That’s so funny because my obgyn said pretty much the same thing to me at my first appointment when I was pregnant with Pookie! He’s a funny guy.

  13. mrscrumley Says:

    Well, in my case, walking should have been forbidden because I am such a clutz on my feet.
    You just find a good indoor game to play… like tv or internet surfing. Those are safe and I think you are already skilled at those games. I know I am!

    No more playing with the taser on Saturday night too? Damn.

  15. DeAnn Says:

    I think they mean PLAYING. You can still watch.

  16. Janis Says:

    And don’t forget no sushi either. Or cleaning the cat box. Maybe that one will make up for missing out on that Super Bowl ring. CONGRATS and mucho lotso best wishes to all three and one on the way Zoots!!!

  17. debby Says:

    I know they didn’t say it, but I am pretty sure that there is no slalom water skiing allowed either.. spoilsports!

  18. SmirkingPunk Says:

    Traditionally, whenever you see a reference to ’skiing’ and you’re nowhere near mountains, it’s referring to another type of… white powdery stuff.

    So try to lay off the blow, m’kay? I know it’ll be hard, but…
