Raw oysters during pregnancy

Being Pregnant doesn't make it any riskier to eat raw Oysters.

Anytime you eat raw Shellfish there's a chance you could get something that's not good.

Oysters can carry Hepatitis. If you get Hepatitis when you're Pregnant, you'll probably get sicker than you would otherwise.

But acute Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C are usually not transmitted across the Placenta to the baby.

So it really just depends on how much you want to eat those Oysters.

Riding horseback during pregnancy

As long as you're having a normal uncomplicated Pregnancy, it wouldn't cause a problem.
(There might be some Pregnancy complications where you'd restrict activity, like pre-term labor or Placenta Previa, where you're at risk for bleeding from the Placenta.)

Otherwise, if you're a regular Horseback rider, and you feel confident about your skills and aren't doing things that are Treacherous, there's no reason you can't keep on Riding.

Playing tennis during pregnancy

If you're a very good Tennis player, it probably is safe.

But the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends avoiding sports with a high likelihood for contact or falling — and that includes Tennis.

One of the concerns with racquet sports such as Tennis is that they often involve rapid changes in direction.

With the changes in your center of Gravity during Pregnancy, these rapid twists and turns could make you more prone to falling.

If you fall you could start Bleeding if the Placenta detaches from the uterus, or you could begin having contractions.

Either event can place the Fetus at risk of Premature Delivery.

Jogging during pregnancy

It's generally safe to Jog pretty much throughout your Pregnancy. It gets harder as you get further along and are carrying more weight, but there's no danger to the Fetus. As Pregnancy progresses, even the expert runner generally needs to modify her routine.

It's not okay to Jog, however, if you have Placenta Previa, where the Placenta covers the Cervix, because too much Jolting can make you Bleed. It's also unsafe if you have Pregnancy-induced Hypertension or Preterm labor or are at high risk for a preterm delivery.

Ice-skate or Roller blade during pregnancy

There's a risk of falling in any sport where maintaining your balance is an issue, and that can carry added risks if you're Pregnant.

A fall could cause Abdominal Injuries that could affect the Pregnancy.

Trauma to the Abdomen can cause Premature separation of the Placenta or Premature labor.

It could even fatally injure the Fetus.

So it's a matter of Personal Judgment: Do you feel confident enough in your abilities, and do you want to take the risk?
