As for myself I went snowboarding about five months after my first pregnancy and I discovered that my postpartum body was yet not stabile to do it. I also experienced quite a lot of pelvic girdle pain when doing certain movements because of the stance between the feet. When doing it again I was about one year postpartum and although I had recovered my core strength I could still feel the pelvic girdle pain. Not nice.
So which one is kinder to the post-pregnancy body?
I think that skiing is a better option both in terms of core stability and pelvic girdle pain. Snowboarding requires much more core stability and is definitely harder on your pelvic floor because of the stance.
I still think snowboarding is so much more fun though!!
