To Bowl or Not To Bowl? That is the question... | 11/6/09 9:16 AM
I'm 26 weeks and want to go bowling. A few friends have said that I shouldn't. I called my doctor's office and was told that no one had every asked that question. LOL – go figure!

My doctor said it's really not the issue of lifting the ball but more of the constant bending, pulling and throwing of the ball coupled with the slippery floor. She said if it's a one or two time event during the pregnancy then all is fine. Just to be very careful and use my personal judgment on how I’m feeling during the game.

Has anyone had this conversation with their doctor and if so, what info were you given?

Thanks!!!

im sure you will be fine i have seen pregnant women bowl before, just make sure to keep your balance and dont over do what your body can handle i say go out and enjoy yourself bowlings not a high impact type of sport

My opinion you will be fine... just dont go grabbing a super heavy ball lol. use a lighter ball and just be careful. You'll know if your doing it... just dont go bowl crazy ;) Have fun!!
