    I think there are rules in netball that you are not allowed to play past a certain point no matter how good you feel.

    I played tennis till about 7 months but no elbows to worry about on that court!

    I personally wouldn't. It is such a high risk sport for falls, being winded, knocked into, getting overheated and you just would not forgive yourself if something happened.

    ETA- Also all those people who said it in no way can cause a miscarriage obviously didnt think about the above which can regularly happen in a netball game and can cause a miscarriage.

    Me personally, i wouldn't play. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I did something that hurt my baby.

    I don't play netball but do play indoor soccer and wouldn't play a sport with so much contact while being pregnant. JMO

    I was told by my Dr as i was playing prior to falling pg i was able to keep playing as long as i felt fit to.

    and I played til i was 34 weeks pg.

    But if you are already feeling guilty it may be best you dont play
