third trimester, bowling?

[KyandKay]

What's your opinion on bowling in late pregnancy? I hear it's ok as long as it's a light ball , you bend from your knees and if you start hurting to stop.

As to others it's not a good idea because you can pull the placenta from the wall?

The subject just came up because a friend want me to join them tonight but in honesty I'm afraid of trying. Maybe I'll just sit until it's time to eat

Thank you ladies for the advice

My mom bowled in her lasts trimester but she said it have her contractions! Not extreme but enough to make her stop!

I was was 26weeks with this baby when i went bowling for my hubbys bday. I used the least ball (6 lbs). I bowled till i felt tired or pain which was about hr into game.  It be fine,  just rest or stop if you start feeling tired or pain

Now I want to go bowling! Too bad there isn't a bowling alley where I live, bummer! Have fun and just know your limits :)

I bowl all the time and plan to continue through my pregnancy. My ball is 11 lbs and my only fear is maybe tipping over lol

I went last weekend and I was 21 weeks. I used a number 9 ball and it was fine I did get a lil sore from bending down and a sore wrist. Then I had a docs appointment 5 days later and everything was fine. I say try it with a light ball and if you dont feel comfortable with yourself just dont do it.

I know a friend who bowled her entire pregnancy but this was 3 years ago, so much is changing lol. I heard they have a "pregnancy ball". Don't know how true that is but I'm going to ask

[specialmom]

I agree.  I think it would be okay.  Have fun!!

I've never thought about that, but I'd think if you use a light ball and know your limits you would be fine.
