Can a pregnant woman play sports if she is 14 weeks pregnant?

Answer 1

Sure can. at 4 weeks the baby is very well protected inside the uterus. However I would keep an eye on what sports you do and not put any unneccasry risks. skiing, horseriding etc are usually not a good idea (unless you usually do horseride and know the horse very well) And sports which get yoru heartrate up too high, such as competitive squash or hard arobics etc will need to be modified to assist the pregnancy. all other sports like swiming cycling (casual cycling not triathalons) and walking are all great in the first few trimesters (women dont usally ride bikes at 9 months lol)

Answer 2

If she has checked with her physician, has participated in the sports prior to getting pregnant, and it poses no harm to her or her baby than she should stay as active as possible. Many women walk, jog, play volleyball, play tennis, and I personally rode horses while pregnant. You'll know when to stop. Or your doctor will tell you.

Answer 3

If she is healthy and has not been advised not to by a doctor there is no reason why she should not play sport.

Answer 4

Could you play volleyball or Netball before you got pregnant? Then Yes, until the 6th or 7th month. Your obstetrician will be able to give you more precise advice.
