Playing Volleyball or no?

How safe is it to play volleyball during my 1st trimester?

However I am skipping next season which overlaps with the last 3 and half months of my pregnancy.

I am on my second pregnacy and played volleyball with both. The league I play is isn't super competitive tho. It has up to age 50. I just don't dive. Never had any problems. My current team has me and two other pregnant gals. :) I'm 19 weeks, another is 18 weeks and the third is 28 weeks.

I'm a runner and Vball lover. My Dr told me to stay away from any sports that you will potentially get hit in the stomach or fall. So I run a lot more and completely avoid volleyball. I know I wouldn't have the sense to stop diving for a ball. 1st trimester is less worrisome than if you were further along But I def wouldn't do it later in pregnancy...

Are you talking about volleyball in school?  Usually they have a policy about athletic participation with pregnant girls - and have rules about how far along you can be and still play.

Yes. I played until I was 20 weeks with two of my pregnancies. Both healthy and normal. Don't stop being active just because you're pregnant.
