Is It Safe To Play Baseball During Pregnancy?

I just found out I am pregnant, probably about 3 to 4 weeks, and I am supposed to start playing basketball in a women's league in about a month. I also have high blood pressure so I am having that monitored, but I wanted to make sure it's safe for me to play. I don't usually get involved too much in the more physical aspects of the game as I am a guard and tend to stay on the outside rather than get involved under the net where most of the physical play happens. This is my first pregnancy and I just want to be safe, but I'm dying to play, as I'm the organizer of my team! Thanks for your help.

welcome to Health care magic.
1.I will not recommend you to play in early pregnancy period, as missed abortions are possible in such active moments.
2.Needs good care in first trimester till the placental formation and implantation.
3.Please try to control your feeling for the pregnancy period.
4.Few recommended exercises are allowed.
5.You can stay outside just monitoring then its fine, do not involve physically actively.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
