Golfing ok while Pregnant?
With Spring just around the corner and a few abnormally warm, sunny days, I am having golf fever! Does anyone know if it's safe to golf while pregnant?

Re: Golfing ok while Pregnant?
I'd have to agree golfing is pretty low impact so it should be ok. Doesnt hurt to double check with your caregiver though.
And typically if its something you've always done then there shouldnt be a problem at all. I mean joggers and runners can continue to run throughout their pregnancy with no problem. Doctors just wouldn't suggested starting a jogging routine if you've never done it before.

Agreed. You may have to stick the club out a bit further than you are used to.

Like PP said, listen to your body. If the motion is uncomfortable, don't do it- but I don't think it hurts to try.
doesnt golfing require putting your hand over your head? idk cause im not a golfer although i do love watching me some bubba watson on tv
anyways... according to the chic on 1st tri... arms above head during pregnancy is not allowed. sorry, looks like your gonn ahave to sit this year out!
I told DH that golfing is not allowed in pregnancy....I actually dont really like it but he loves it! Its given me a little break from our 3x/week golf dome trips!!
IMO its probably fine if you like it!!!
what on earth is supposed to happen if you put your hands over your head? I've done step class (with arms over head), jumping jacks, some supervised light weights with hands over my head, I put things away on shelves over my head.
From what I've seen online that's an old pregnancy myth- nothing will happen if you put your hands over your head (except if you leave them there long enough your arms will get tired).
This. I play in a golf league with 2 friends, one golfed while pregnant a few years ago and had her best season. The other girl, who happens to be my best friend, and I are both pregnant and plan to play this summer. I may not be able to do the last month, but I plan to play as long as it is comfortable.
Actually, it doesn't. Also, one of the first things that my Dr told me at my first appt was do not believe the myth of putting your arms above your head. The baby is in no way, shape, or form connected in a way that putting your arms above your head would cause harm. Just fyi
