Is Playing Basketball Safe During Pregnancy?

Hi, I'm probably anywhere from 6-8 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if it is safe for me to continue playing basketball this past week I have had some cramping and back pain but my doctor says that is normal and just to make sure there is no bleeding should I continue to play or not?
