I used to play badminton regularly before and I really miss it. Im only 9 weeks now and feeling fine, no issues. But not sure if all that jumping and sudden movement is safe na. Anyone continued any sport in early pregnancy?
Playing badminton involves a lot of sudden lunges and risk of slipping, which isn't safe right now. Better to stick to peaceful evening walks in the garden. For any heavy activity, please check with your doctor.
I am in my second trimester now and missing my badminton sessions so much! But I read that our center of gravity changes, so falling is a big risk. Are any of you doing light yoga instead?
Ho na, badminton me bohot jump karna padta hai and balance loose ho sakta hai. Mere doctor ne toh strictly mana kiya tha achanak se mudne wale sports ke liye. Better walk kar lo na.
Arre meri saas toh mujhe racket pakadne hi nahi deti, unhe lagta baby ko jhatka lagega! But seriously, sliding and jumping in badminton can cause falls. Stick to safe walks at home.
For managing my gestational diabetes, doctor told me active movement is must, but strictly forbade badminton or running. The risk of losing balance is too high during pregnancy. Just go for safe, brisk walks instead.
During my pregnancy with thyroid issues, my doctor advised keeping exercise very mild to avoid stress on the joints. Badminton has too much sudden running, so please consult your doctor in your next follow-up before playing.
