lauraliscious 0 #76 January 23, 2008 I would absolutely consider the doctor as an insider. "Individual decision" meaning between the couple, based on the details of their pregnancy and their doctor's opinion/input. Obviously, many women have jumped while pregnant and their babies were fine. I have yet to hear of any examples where a woman lost a baby due to skydiving. Anyone know of any cases where a pregnant skydiver has miscarried and the cause was attributed to jumping while pregnant?

piratemike 0 #77 January 24, 2008 QuoteThe whuffo doctor actually suggested that my child would be born with a third eye in the middle of his forehead if I continued to jump. Is this real? Am I missing a context or something? Were you going to a religious healer posing as a doctor or something? Oh, and just so I don't offend anyone. I'm not suggesting that religious healing is a load of bullshit. It's a pretty well know fact that it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're not suggesting it, you're absolutely stating it! BTW, I agree with you.Hey, we have 4 kids, she skydived with all the pregnancies. No problems. I know that's not a guarantee of anything, folks, so don't flame. Just my 2 cents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds good to me. This topic seems to be a pretty hot one here. It seems that there has been a lot of jumping while pregnant. So in any of these events, were there injuries to the mothers or unborn children? Edited for spelling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
georgiaskydiver 0 #80 January 26, 2008 Not kidding. She had been my OB/GYN for a couple years before we got pregnant, and even walked us through a failed pregnancy. She was an idiot.Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites georgiaskydiver 0 #81 January 26, 2008 I obviously jumped, and there were no injuries to either mama or baby. Unless you count our child's undying love for all things flying & skydiving as a defect . . . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skyblu3 0 #82 January 27, 2008 Every person and every pregnancy is different. What someone says worked for them does not necessarily mean will work for you. I wouldnt jump or want you to jump if you were my partner. If you make your living skydiving then I would consider it but if you just want to jump for fun......take 9 months off, the dz is not going anywhere.

No way. I'd be more than happy to not-jump with her for those nine months if that's what it would take to keep her on the ground.

QuoteNEVER have i ever presumed to have a right or ability to ALLOW her anything. She is my wife and partner not my possession So, you understand that in a healthy relationship there is some moral obligation seek sanction for certain things, things that the partner might feel very strongly about. It's in that context that I use the word 'allow'. 'Not allowing' implies that there would be some repercussion for the person who's not being allowed to do something. If my girlfriend did something that I was adamantely against, there WOULD be repercussions. By the way you're acting, it appears that you assume those repercussions would be physical or something. (I don't really know exactly what you're thinking). Well, that's incorrect. There are very few things I would physically stop my girlfriend from doing. But, as I said, there WOULD be repercussions. Those might include ending our relationship, not contributing money to her skydiving, not driving her to the DZ. In the context of a relationship, "not allowing" something doesn't necessarily mean "physically prohibiting". "Not allowing" something can be as simple as not condoning or supporting something. Again, if you were to ask her "Would you allow your boyfriend to sleep with other women" she would say "No." Within the context of our relationship, I'm not allowed to sleep with other women. That doesn't mean she's going to chain me to the couch and physically prohibit me, it simply means she will not condone it. She wouldn't give me permission. And there WOULD be some repercussions if I did. By the way, there's a lot of things she doesn't allow me to do. Could I physically still do them? Yes. Do I? No. I'm not allowed to :) You're imagining a dynamic of domination that simple doesn't exist in our relationship.
