Is it safe to play golf while pregnant?
I am at a beginner's level and am wondering whether is OK to continue with golf lessons while I am pregnant? Is it OK to practice at a driving range? I am concerned that wide swings and twisting of the torso may have a negative impact on the fetus. What is generally suggested in this case?

Yes, you are fully safe while playing / practising golf, I know a lot of ladies at my club that have played up until about 8 months, after that they tend to get very tired after playing. The fetus is very well protected in you guys, swinging a golf club wont have any effect at all. Plus dont forget the exercise you will be getting from walking, also positive for healthy new born Congrats on the bub thou

yes you can play, but first check it with your doctor before you get started. There was LPGA play in few tournament while pregnant (I forget her name) and she give birth a week after her last tournment she play in.

My wife asked her OB the exact question. The OB told her it would be great for her. It is low impact exercise that allows you stretch and move. The OB even recommended she walk the course with a pull behind bag carrier.

Laura Diaz played while 7 months pregnant on the LPGA tour if i remember correctly. I think it would be fine, but maybe you should check with your Doctor.
