Hi I am new here and wasn't sure where to post this, so took a guess and hoping for some fellow equestrian out there.
I am 28 weeks pregnant, a professional Dressage rider/trainer, I also suffer from epilepsy. So that's me,
I chose to stop riding and competing at around 12 weeks as it became uncomfortable and no longer wanting to take the risk (as fit comp horses know when your not right and take every opportunity to have a good ping! )
I am lucky enough that owners care for their own horses for me, but i do still have my broodmares ( 2 ) to care for (much to my other half's disgust!) I was wondering how other people have found doing the day to day jobs thought their pregnancy's?? So far I am finding it ok, on go slow but perfectly manageable, taking care with lifting etc
What has been other peoples experience? Have you managed full term whilst doing 'normal' (DIY) jobs or have you had help or someone to take over?
I am quite happy to carry on as I am and am coping well i think, but getting more stressed by others insisting I am doing to much, so basically looking for a little background ...................am I doing to much?...................or have others done the same with ease? ( i say the word 'ease' lightly as i know its never easy)
Sorry for the ramble and hope it makes sense.
