I have a very remote 5 day/50 mile backpacking trip in Southern Utah planned for next week and I just found out I am 5 weeks pregnant. I am 37 years old, fairly fit (10-15 lbs. over weight) and hike very often (have done this hike a number of times before). My husband will be carrying most of the weight leaving me with no more than 25 lbs. So far, I feel pretty good aside from a little tiredness.

Is it safe to go ahead with the trip, or would it be too risky?

Thanks in advance.

You are only five weeks, not 35 weeks, then it would be risky!

Get going girl ! And enjoy this time of your pregnancy! It will strengthen your stomach muscles.
