Suggest Precautions To Be Taken During Early Pregnancy

My husband and I are planning for our next baby. I have just stopped taking birth control, and we are hopeing to get pregnant with in the next 6 months, so that the baby will be born before he deploys. The issue is we have a dive trip planned for Hawaii in two months. Will it hurt our baby if I get pregnant and go diving? Thank you!

I am 27, weigh 120 lbs, am 5'4, my only health issue is that I had a c-section with our daughter 3 years ago (she was breech)

Hello,

Welcome to healthcaremagic.com!

I really appreciate your concern. You have to take same precautions as you practiced and learned from your previous pregnancy. For your dive trip for Hawaii, there is absolutely no extra risk to the developing embryo if you follow the general rules and precautions of diving. You can go for it. Enjoy.

Hope my answer has solved your query. Take Care.

Thank you.

Best Regards.
Dr. Manan
