Bowling while pregnant???

[wife_and_mama2014]

So I know there's tons of stuff we can't do while pregnant, but I was wondering about bowling?? I think the most were supposed to be lifting is like 30 pounds or something?? Is bowling an 8 lb ball dangerous at 26 weeks?? I can live without it haha, but my husband and I just moved on post where there's literally nothing within walking distance to do except bowl and we don't have our car here yet. Thanks!!

I bowl all the time, my ball is 11 lbs... Only thing is your balance is different so just be careful not to tip yourself over lol

Yes bowling is fine :) I went bowling my first and second pregnancy ! I've always used a lite ball so not much of a difference but Have fun !!

My mom bowled when she was preg for my little sister on a league every week until a week before she had her using a 16 pound ball and they were both fine

I felt fine after. I was just a little more tired than usual. I even bowled better than I ever have in my life; strike after strike ;)

I went in my second trimester and just used the 7lb ball I wasn't sore after but my boyfriend was freaking the whole time we were out telling me I was doing to much

I went bowling in my third trimester. Afterwards I was so sore and drained of energy I could barely walk and my body felt crappy. Just find a light ball and go easy on yourself. If it starts to feel like too much then stop

Yeah I'll definitely use the lighter ones! Were you sore after?? I read that's usually the only downside.

I went bowling at 33 weeks. Just use the lighter balls. I used the 6-7 lbs balls and was fine

Hahaha good to know! I'll double check with my OB to be sure but I've never heard we can't do it either
