On Thursday & Friday I'm going to an overnight work conference in town. I just received the agenda, and it includes 10 pin bowling between the Thursday conference & dinner. I then got an email from our regional coordinator saying I've been put on a team, but if it's a risk to me or bubs I can sit out.
To be honest, I didn't even think of that! I just saw it and went Woohoo, bowling! Lol. I figure bending may be a bit of an issue, but I had a go with my office door shut and it's fine, hehe. And I'd get a small ball, but is it likely to strain anything? I figure if it doesn't feel right I'll stop, but is there any reason I shouldn't even try?
I went bowling at 38 weeks, I was fine. Had a light ball etc. TBH I actually found it really awkward to get my arm around my belly lol looked like such a gumby. In the end I used one of those rack thingys that you just sit the ball on top of, line it up and push it down the ramp lol was a novelty and good for a laugh.
have fun on your retreat, sounds like fun.
Oh and another thing,make sure you are really carefully not to have a foul (foot over the line) because the lane is very slippery, last thing you want is to stack it.
Hehe ash, that's why the door was shut and I made sure no one was coming
Thanks for your replies girls, I'm more than happy to give it a go, risk looking like a totally uncoordinated git, and most definitely will be avoiding stepping into the lane
I did bowling in a league when I was pg with DS. I stopped at 33 weeks because it started hurting me - Felt like I was carrying a bowling ball under my shirt and in my hand!
i went bowling when i was in my 3rd tri with DD2 it caused no problems i just used a lighter ball to usual and as said before my only issue was the belly in the way i too ended up using the kiddy ramps which turned out to be a laugh for all
i went bowling when i was pregnant with DS, and the only problem i had was lifting the balls, cause they were really heavy, and what with no tummy muscles, etc..... i just ended up getting one of the really light kids balls! have fun with it!!
Ooh yeah broken thumbnail, I get that every time! Thanks for the reminder to cut it
Sounds like I'll be all good - the organisers are a guy and a young girl with no kids, so I guess they just weren't sure and thought they'd better ask.
Thanks everyone, I'm looking forward to going now, even though I'll probably look ridiculous lol
Bowling?
