Camping at 31 Weeks Pregnant?

My husband and I are trying to decide wether to go camping in the New Year, it would be for about 4/5 nights. I will be 31 weeks by then, 32 weeks by the time we would be due to come home.

We live in Christchurch and are looking at camping at Lake Benmore which is about a 10-15 minute drive from Twizel. It would be about a 3-4 hr drive from Christchurch.

We only have a queen air bed which goes straight on the ground, we would take our 4 burner bbq which has a gas hob on one side. The toilets are a bit of a walk from where we would set up camp site. I would not be doing anything other then sitting around the campsite relaxing. My main concerns are eating correctly and not getting food poisoning, however we have friends who live in Twizel who could keep our food refridgerated/frozen. And the other concern is being so far away from home and my MW.

What are everyones thoughts on this topic, I would love to hear feed back to help our decision.

Thanks

I went camping at 38 weeks, but it was not planned my stupid partner got drunk and so couldn't drive home at night like we were suppose to. We were in Kaikoura and we are from Chch too. Apart from the most uncomfortable sleep it wasn't so bad.

If you haven't had any complications I'd say go for it.

We camped a couple of weeks ago and last week we spent a few nights crashed on the airbed at a friends place and I haven't had any drama. I actually found the airbed really comfortable and mastered getting up and down pretty quickly, although one time I did nearly send DH flying off the other side coz I came down onto the bed a tad too heavily.

I would go for sure. I really love camping and find it's a nice way to relax. I wanted to go this Christmas but we already have plans.

i went camping at 32 wks i think, a few weeks ago anyway and it was fine. Couldnt get comfy to sleep but thats no different to home anyway.

I say go forit!! I just did a weekend away (not camping) but pretty uncomfy beds. Just bring alot of your own pillows, and you'll be fine.

I did it. I was 32 weeks pregnant, on my own (my parents werrn't far away though) and had a 2 year old to chase around for 5 nights in the middle of nowhere. It was lovely, even went for a float down the river in a tyre tube :P
Sleeping on the air bed was fine (even though I had it to myself) its not like you can sleep anywhere too comfortable at that stage. I got pretty used to running through the bush at night to the toilet.
I could fully stand in my tent so that made it easier with getting dressed. (I had major sciatic nerve pains so getting dress was still difficult)

I honestly had never thought about food, I guess If I cooked it I made sure it was well cooked, tried to avoid too much food that had to be chilled (cheese, yogurt etc)

I would say go for it! Its probably the last chance you are going to get to have a relaxing holiday on your own!
