Playing Tennis During Pregnancy
|
I want to continue playing tennis during pregnancy. I've played for most of my life and I don't want to stop for 9 months (or more). If I take it easy and listen to my body, can I still play the sport that I love during pregnancy?

I played tennis also during my last trimester, and I gave birth to my son w/o any problem. Pregnant women are advised to have slight exercise during pregnancy, like walking and other easy workout..Exercises during pregnancy depends on the condition of the baby. you play your favorite sport but not like how you play when you're not pregnant yet. Listen to your body, it is you who is carrying it.

You dont need to give up altogether, although you will need permission from your Dr to continue. A good sports bra and supportive shoes are a must, and as you approach your final trimester when you get really big, it isnt recommended as you are more likely to injure yourself as joints soften in preparation for birth.

Yes as you getting bigger you will find you dont have the energy to play like you use too, its great to keep up with the sport and get exercise while pregnant
