It was while I was squeezing myself between the roof and the wall to clip anchors, and looking down 45 ft that I decided that I wasn't gonna be on the sharpend for a while. I'm not normally scared of heights, so this was a strange sensation. I know exactly what you mean. The way I discovered I was pregnant with my first-- I didn't know I was pregnant yet, though we were trying... anyway, I went skiing. I got to the top, looked down, and got panicky, really panicky. It was a very strange and novel sensation, LOL. I came home and did a pregnancy test. Bingo! Yeah. I had my suspicions. I finished up my routes, went home, peed on a stick and said, "i'm in for it..."
I never had any of those strange sensations, I was still downhill skiing around madly, and climbed as usual, though it was in the gym as too cold here to climb outdoors at the time.
But the only sensation I got was mild nausea and a late monthly period, hence I had a strong feeling by the time I went for my test at the pregnancy centre I likely was.. positive. Tested twice in that day, once was by the doc and 7 weeks at the time. I was never late but put it down to maybe a bit of stress when I went back to the UK to visit in December.
I did worry when night skiing one night locally in race mode - having too much fun! then I tore my MCL and was overwhelmed with severe nausea and dizziness for ages, hence I seriously thought I broke my leg. I did worry at that point as I was aware by then I was pregnant. So after that, I decided dh skiing is now over for the foreseeable future, but XC skiing is in again from next season more likely..
