People get all freaked out by pregnant
women doing things. But pregnant women are
doing this kind of thing everywhere! It is
only in Western society that we think
women should be pampered and take it easy
for their whole pregnancy, but that isn't
so. Women can still do everything they did
before, it is usually only in the later
months or if there are some type of
complications that they would need to slow
down for.
I personally know a woman who jogged her
whole pregnancy. Everyone thought she was
harming her baby, but her doctor said it
wouldn't cause any problems. And it
didn't! She was fine. Delivered a healthy
baby. Nothing drastic or bad happened to
her. Her doctor would never recommend she
start jogging in pregnancy, but
since she had been a runner for many years
prior to pregnancy, he saw nothing wrong
with her continuing something she enjoyed.

But don tyou think its dangerous to be
playing a sport where a ball could come
flying and hit ur belly? Or sliding into
home plate or batting where the pitcher
could hit ur stomach? TO me that just
seems a little TOO risky..but I agree on
being active (even tho Im not lol) I dont
have time to exercise with college and
studying lol

I do think that was risky behavior. Which
is why those girls chose to hide it. They
wanted to play and knew they wouldn't be
allowed.

Girl, I would make time if I were you. I
was in college (still am) during my
pregnancy. Didn't "have time" to exercise
either. Let me just point out that because
of that "lack of time," I gained 68
pounds!!! You don't want to be like that!
It has been absolute HELL getting it off
too.
130-198 in 8 months? BAD.
Exercise. Even taking a walk before bed is
good.
