Almost 6 mos. pregnant + River Tubing?

[silver03]

From what I've read here about river tubing, it seems like a leisurely ride. Is that right? Is there anything I would need to worry about, being almost 6 mos. pregnant? I dont want to take any risks, but it seems like a "gentle" excursion! I DEFINITELY wont be doing Dunn's Falls...too risky.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I did the tubing with my family and think you would be fine. There are some areas that are called "rapids", but they are not really. The river pretty much just moves you along and every once in a while there is a faster place. I could see the bottom the whole time, it was probably only 3 feet deep most of the way. The two guides that went with us really hustled to keep us in the center and away from any obstructions- tree branch, rock, etc. My 4 year old rode with my husband and my kids were solo. Just wear water shoes so you can kick-off the sides if you get stuck.
