Emelie Forsberg Instagram – High altitude while pregnant and with babies? It’s time for a post as I’ve seen questions every now and then about it!
When I was pregnant with Maj we spent time at 4-5000 meter, I mainly checked my oxygen level in the blood and did not want to be lower than 90 % most times I was 94-96. I’m used to altitude and often adapt very well, so this is important to take in account individually. Otherwise go on feeling- if we listen we are good in knowing what’s best for us.
Maj 6 months old tagged along with us to Himalaya and once again the saturation O2 we closely monitored aswell as her overall wellbeing- eating/sleeping. As I was breastfeeding it was also very safe to not catch a 🦠. Maj adapted very well and we went up to 4300 masl.
When Ylva-Li was 2 and Maj 4 we also went to the Himalayas, and we noticed that Ylva-Li needed more time to adapt to altitude, so we just spent more time lower down.
We carried Ylva-Li and rented a horse for Maj when we did longer hikes to move between villages.
Maj was a champ on the horse!
I think you just need to trust your instincts, make reasearch and feel prepared to change plans if needed!
We also have been lucky to have Kilians mum @nuria.burgada with us so that both of us could train well. ❤️ | Posted on 09/Jun/2024 15:59:07
