Just to throw this out there. Did a co-ed tournament last week and the first baseman was a woman who was (by my estimation) between 7 & 9 months pregnant (she defintely had a shelf).

No one said anything and she got a courtesy runner when she got on base but I was a little leary about her being out there. I do not think there is any ASA rule prohibiting, but it made me uncomfortable.

Anyone else run into this?
I'm not a doctor and I'm not god. If she chooses to be playing ball, that is her decision and not my concern.

BTW, yes, I have had pregnant women play ball in games I've umpired. To me, she is just another player.
