Sports and pregnancy

[KatieW2013]

I just had a positive pregnancy test yesterday.  I am going to try to get into my doctor ASAP to confirm but I also play sand volleyball.  I am supposed to play tomorrow.  Would that hurt the baby at all?  Obviously baby comes first.

Went to the doctor today to confirm that I am pregnant.  I AM PREGNANT!!!!!  I asked the doctor about volleyball.  She said I can play until I start showing fyi.

I too play the game. Have since junior high. My doctor told me not to because it was such a heavy sport. Lots of jumping and diving and such isn't safe. First trimester is very delicate stage of pregnancy and the way my dr explained it that its very easy for it to detach from the uterus walls. So take it easy.

thank you ladies. I am getting into my doctor on Wednesday. I will skip this week and ask my doctor about continuing to play volleyball.  I will post a response what I get it thanks.

I really wouldnt chance it it only takes one good hit or a hard fall.

How far along do you think you are? They say its ok to continue your normal activity level. But I would def check with a doctor but I don't think it would cause any harm

I agree with beauty. Could be risky

Sand volleyball is slightly heavy game involving running, jumping and falling.. i dont think you should be taking that risk.. during pregnancy light exercises are ok which are mostly yoga forms.. but you can always ask your doctor for further information :)
