Answer 1

Many women have played golf well into their pregnancy with no ill effect. In fact some said that the exercise and walking was beneficial to their condition. If you want consulation call your doctor and ask him/ her if golfing is right for you.

Answer 2

Yes you can golf while you're pregnant.  I work with a lady who played and was very pregnant.  She was six months pregnant and playing golf.  She said she played better pregnant.  There is a lady on the LPGA tour that is playing who is currently pregnant.

Answer 3

As long as you feel like it..providing you don't pull any muscles.

Answer 4

I have a friend who is due around June 10th, and she played last week.  She is scheduled to play in a tournament at the end of this month.  Her doc said it's okay with him, so consult your doc and play on, if all is all right!

Answer 5

Of course you can golf. When my wife was pregnant I asked the doctor if she had any weight limitations and the Dr. asked her if she could lift 50lbs. She said that she couldn't so the Dr. said "Don't try to lift 50lbs.

Once you start to show it may start getting uncomfortable to golf. When it gets uncomfortable, stop golfing.

Answer 6

the best person to ask this question is your doctor. get a phyical and sit down and talk to him about you playing golf while you're pregnant. I know two excepting mother play golf and two LPGA tour player.
