Most doctors have their own recommendations for their pregnant patients and, depending on your health and risk factors, what you can do will largely depend on your doctor's orders. However, most experts encourage exercise during pregnancy to keep you healthy. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) says, "During pregnancy, women can continue to exercise and derive health benefits even from mild to moderate exercise routines. Regular exercise (at least three times per week) is preferable to intermittent activity."
When it comes to a healthy pregnancy, golf is a great way to exercise, especially if you walk the course rather than ride it. While golf isn't an intense cardiovascular workout, it is a great sport for working on your balance, stability, core strength and your competitive spirit.
