What to know or do
Do not use previous skill alone as proof that the risk is unchanged. Discuss the specific activity and choose a lower-fall-risk alternative when needed.
What changes the answer
- Your previous experience, current pregnancy and any clinical restriction
- Fall, collision, overheating, altitude and breath-holding risk
- Pain, bleeding, dizziness, contractions, fluid loss or breathlessness during activity

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
