Bowling........a stupid question?

[theonlyhb2]

So......I can go bowling still, can't I?

I am 14 weeks and want to go next week for a mates birthday. I only ever use the lightest possible ball anyway.

Mother said I can't bowl pregnant, but then she wont let me carry shopping so I take no notice of her.

Opinions?

I did, but watch out, you're more prone to muscle strains and pulls. I managed to pull a bum muscle.

I stuck to the 8 pound ball and freaked myself out realising that I was soon to have a child of that weight inside me!

Hey theonlybb2, I went bowling (we hadn't told PILs so I felt obliged), I was fine, found I strained my arm though. Stuck to a teeny 6lb bowling ball. :) Go & have fun, just go easy.

Sorry - * theonlyhb2, baby brain...

I did while pregnant - about 20 weeks :)

Strained my arm though, with the smallest ball.

I did - in fact I was supposed to be bowling the night DS2 was born. DH had to call my friends and tell them I wouldn't be there becasue I was in labour 3 weeks early (nothing to do with bowling, hadn't been for weeks before that )

Just take it easy and don't do anything that hurts/stop when you get tired

yep i did it a few weeks ago [about 25weeks] strained a bum muscle and had a bit of an achey wrist. so take it easy and have fun

I read somewhere that you shouldn't bowl when pregnant but can't remember where or how reliable it was. Think it's just because of injury to you though, not the baby.

ah, so just the normal injuries I get anyway ha ha ha

thank you!

I went bowling a few weeks ago aould of been 30 weeks. I was not sure either but I thought use light balls owww er! And stop when it hurts or are tired. They screwed up the booking so we had extra games given to us we all got bored after 2 hours and left!! I had enough after 1 hour to be honest but was nice to get out and about and see friends.
