Hi all,
Last March I walked my first Camino from Burgos to Santiago. As a woman travelling alone I was nervous, but this forum provided the encouragement I needed to bite the bullet and I'm glad I did as I loved every minute! Since then, I've been itching to finish the French route from SJPP to Burgos but we got pregnant earlier than expected! I was hoping to start walking in late March, by which time I'll be 16 weeks pregnant (this is my first pregnancy).
My husband is supportive and my Obgyn, whilst not elated about the idea, has said if I have a healthy pregnancy, its doable. (I am a pretty active/fit 34 year old, although I don't walk 25kms each day!) His main concern is understandably what would happen in an emergency if I needed urgent treatment.
I've seen a couple of threads on this, but any further guidance or thoughts on walking the Camino alone whilst pregnant would be appreciated! Some specific questions I have are:
- Will Orisson likely to be open in late March if I want to take the first day easy and not walk to Roscenvalles?
- Any caution against starting in SJPP and crossing the Pyrenees?
- I'd have two weeks - would this be sufficient to walk from SJPP to Burgos whilst pregnant?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
