No, you can't control other people. They may run into you. And you can't control grounds.

May, everything's a risk. I think softball is a relatively low risk team sport b/c it's not a close contact game (like soccer). That said, there are risks. I'm 19 weeks along and still play twice a week. I did have a scare -- totally random -- I tripped down first base line and fell (and i'm not a clumsy person). It really freaked me out, but the kid's fine and the dr said not to worry. That was 3 weeks ago. I still play now, but play in the outfield rather than 2nd base where I feel that i'm more at risk. In the end, it's really your decision.

My doctor told me I could play until I was 15 weeks since that's when my belly would begin to stick out and the baby become somewhat more exposed.

As long as your good at ball why not!!! I played 1st base until I was 8months preg, I couldn't run when I batted because of obvious reasons. If your a little concerned about injury, just play in the field where you can control things a little more.

Krys, that's good advice. I'm 21 wks now and am going to stick w/it as long as I can.
