Early Pregnancy & Tennis

[Zara]

Hi,

I have just found out I am pregnant again for the second time. For the last couple of months I have been playing social tennis every week. I am only about 2-3 weeks pregnant, and i am now concerned on whether I should stop playing tennis. Any advice???

I played netball when pg with my first up until 13 weeks....i think continuing exercise in some way or another is good for you and baby during pregnancy. But obv there are risks and i think its just a case of being xtra careful, stop if it doesnt feel right, and let your tennis partner know your preggers too - they may hit the ball a bit more kinder.... and may even let you win.

I played tennis up to 6mths pg with my 3rd baby and only stopped because the comp did, but I'm not exactly a tennis pro either, so it wasn't like I was really playing hard or anything. You should be fine and be able to play till you no longer feel comfortable doing so.
