Default 8-mo. Pregnant Woman OK on 22ft. Boat?

Something just dawned on me. Other boats' wakes may not present a problem as
far as turbulence and pounding, but what about her altered sense of balance?
Does the boat have enough solid things (rails, etc) to hang onto so she
doesn't need to be stuck in a chair all day? And, on the subject of balance,
someone else asked if there's a life vest that'll fit her. Good point.

My girlfriend's 8-month pregnant sister wants to come out on the boat
with us for a day. She seems surprisingly unconcerned about any risks
associated with being on a boat. I'm not a doctor so i don't know how
much risk is involved, but as the captain it's my responsibility and
ultimately my call. We would be going to an inland lake instead of
the "big lake" (St. Clair, MI), but a cruiser wake here and there is
still inevitable.

Would you want anything to do with this responsibility, or am i making
much ado about nothing?

Thanks, -JZ
