Just curious...

I was just wondering (after hearing a discussion)is it ok to go paintballing if your pregnant? Like early stages? My cousin was talking about it but isnt it a bit dangerous??

For me, pregnancy would be an excellent excuse NOT to go: I went once and hated it! They make you put masks on your face which stink of old man sweat! Why would you want to?!

Tbh i think its a bit dangerous. She was saying that she would wear layers and layers and stuff but im not so sure. Even with all the padding and vest it doesnt seem safe.

Sports where you might accidentally take a blow to the womb area are generally out during pregnancy. Since in a paintballnig scenario people will be deliberately trying to administer a blow to your womb area, I'd give it a miss. In fact, if you told the people there you were pregnant, I'd be surprised if they even allowed it.

I found paintballing actually really painful, im not sure if your allowed to participate if your pregnant but i wouldnt risk it. I dunno how she would be able to relax and enjoy it with the constant worry of being hit

Hi

I agree with most of the ladies comments which have been made already. To be fair being pregnant would probably be also my excuse not to go, but saying that I admire your ambition to want to stay fit & active as the early stages of pregnancy can be no laughing matter at the best of times.

No way babe, don't go it's awful, my husband went and look like he ad been beaten up by a hundred people, black and blue yuk!

I wouldn't go, I hated it when I wasn't pregnant, I came home and had bruises and I mean the purple/black kind all over my tummy and legs, u wouldn't want one of them things hitting u in the stomach, I wud sit it out.

Thanks for the advice ladies! I shall pass this onto my cousin. I knew its a bad idea so i dont know why on earth she would think its ok!
