slow pitch softball?

Hello!
This is my first pregnancy!I am  11 weeks now and,
I currently been playing on a coed slow pitch softball league.
I am wondering if I would be able to continue playing during the summer leage?

Which by then I would be 15-23 weeks, is it safe?

My coworker played up until she was 8 months preg. She said the day she slid into 3rd and got a huge raspberry up the side of her leg was the day she knew it was probably time to quit =)
It's all up to you. Some moms are super conservative with the things they do/eat/drink during pregnancy and others are more lax. Even the most cautious of people can still have a miscarriage, its all in God's hands really.

I'm just about 14 weeks and I'm still playing. I play on a travel team and I'm playing in a tournament this weekend and next weekend. It may be my last next weekend tho. My dr has always told me to stay active and do my normal activities that my body will know when to stop.

All physical contact sports are off when you're pregnant.  Anytime someone can basically knock you off your feet,  you can't do.

So that leaves hiking,  walking,  jogging (if you're used to it) swimming,  etc.  Everything you can do while people aren't trying to throw you down or bean you with a ball.

I stopped playing at 7 weeks but only because my partner didn't feel comfortable with it and if anything flukey did happen I would have felt awful..talk to your doctor but I know a couple people who played until they were 4 months and that was in fastball..slow pitch is a little lower key..be careful :)
