I don't think bowling can be harmful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44915 Mon, 02 Jan 2012 10:46:51 +0000 Mrsbells 44915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok just as an update. I did go bowling yesterday, I was 25 weeks at the time. I did take it easy and used the lighter balls. It was fine mostly although I sucked and my score for the first game was a shocking 13!!! I got tired very quickly and started to use to guides that the kids use so I wouldnt only have to push the ball. In the 2nd game I started to feel achy on my right side where I usually get my round ligament pain so I stopped bowling. Overall it was fun, but I would advise anyone to just use the kid guides, cos then you dont have to actually throw the ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44780 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 21:22:06 +0000 sulli301 44780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: I did the same thing! I was 7.5 months and went bowling! I was very careful though and didn't really try to hard because I was being so cautious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44684 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 14:43:18 +0000 tequiero21 44684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've really wanted to go bowling but the reasons i haven't gone so far are because i didn't want to accidentally fall while throwing the ball. and i can't recall, but i thought people smoked around there, so didn't want to be around that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44656 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 12:14:14 +0000 MegWag 44656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see why it would be a problem. I mean, unless you fall down a lot when you are bowling not pregnant, I don't see why you'd fall down just because you're pregnant. Personally, I'd use a light ball and be careful and have fun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44641 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:44:22 +0000 Red 44641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To me, it's not worth the risk of slipping or injuring my back so I would probably go but not actually bowl. It's not as fun but at least you get to hang out with your friends, which is probably what you ultimately want anyways.</p> <p>ETA: Just noticed that you are only 24 weeks, for some reason I thought you were further along. You're probably not even heavy enough to put you off balance so maybe just bowl with caution :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-44603 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 09:52:18 +0000 Mrsbells 44603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping for more opinions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-42107 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 20:27:52 +0000 banana 42107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd also play it safe and not go bowling. I did some heavy lifting at around 34 weeks (we were moving so I was packing some boxes) which I know I shouldn't have been doing. Well, I ended up delivering my baby a month early. I don't know if it had anything to do with the heavy lifting but with baby #2, I'm definitely not taking ANY chances! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-42057 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:55:36 +0000 pastemoo 42057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went. No big! (Except that I suuuuuuuuck at bowling so that part wasn't all that fun.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-42004 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:11:15 +0000 mrbee 42004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>+1 for Granny bowling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-42002 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 16:09:52 +0000 cyndistar3 42002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went bowling when I was further along, I just usef a lighter ball than normal and took it easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41962 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 15:07:25 +0000 cyneswith 41962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd go, and play it by ear on whether to play or not. If you're having round ligament pain, then obviously, you wouldn't play. I probably wouldn't bowl with full enthusiasm and would be careful walking in the shoes, but really, you walk a few feet and gently toss a ball. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41915 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:52:50 +0000 heffalump 41915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're already having issues, I wouldn't go. It's just not worth the pain later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41912 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:50:20 +0000 Mrsbells 41912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I will go and play it by ear and try not to over exert myself </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41856 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:25:07 +0000 winniebee 41856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually read in one of mt baby books that it's fine so I would go. Just take it easy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41819 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:04:47 +0000 Mrsbells 41819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I'm on the fence. A part of really me wants to go. My husband is really worried because I felt awful yesterday when the round ligament pain wouldnt go away and he thinks all the bending in bowling could trigger it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41815 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:47:51 +0000 Mrs. Bee 41815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went bowling when I was really pregnant with Charlie and I was fine. Everyone at the bowling alley thought it was cool that a 8 months pregnant woman was bowling! </p> <p>but i could see how it would be dangerous and slippery with those rented shoes. perhaps better to be safe? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41814 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:45:33 +0000 chopsuey 41814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd play it safe and not go.. or go and just watch? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bowling-while-pregnant#post-41808 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:33:57 +0000 Mrsbells 41808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you been bowling while pregnant. Would you go bowling?<br /> SOme friends of mine are going bowling this weekend and invited me. I said yes whole heartedly at first but after my bout with round ligament pain yesterday and then I remembered my friend who feel several times the last time we went bowling. I'm wondering if I should go or not. I'm currently 24 weeks and will be 25 weeks by the time we go bowling.<br /> What would you do? </p>
