I play city league Volley ball . My husband says I can't play now and I say thats silly. This is my 3rd and I 've never had any problems. Anyone have an answer.

Hi there rosie, I play netball twice a week and this is my third as well. I am not sure exactly how much of a contact sport it is but i do consider netball quite physical. I believe i will have to give up around 20 weeks i think. I think sport is great just be careful.!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Rosie,

I'm a competitive soccer player, and although I am very newly pregnant, my doctor told me (and another teammate of mine who is about 2 months ahead of me), that we can play through our 1st, and maybe a bit into the 2nd trimester. I will just have to be a bit more careful. I also am a volleyball player (although not right now), but I would imagine that you'd just not want to dive much defensively. Good luck!
