    Kaiser have you seen Hart of Dixie? Its actually a really good show! Wouldnt be a big fan of bilsons character but the rest are fab. especially Lemon.

    • ds says:

      Ouch I can’t stand Lemon… for real are there grown ups acting like that anywhere? This show reminds me of Gilmore girls; every character is some kind of cliche… but some episodes were good. I watch it when I have to get my mind on the off mode. But just Wade parts.

      • Lol says:

        I love lemon 🙂 im biased though because I think Jaime king is an amazing actor. It great escapism tv and Wade is Sexy 🙂

    Ooh! If she has to move more than a few steps, that’ll hurt. Maybe they are tossing balls directly to her so all she has to do is hit the ones within easy reach?

    • Samigirl says:

      Not really. She was athletic before she was pregnant, so that helps with any physical activity she partakes in during the pregnancy.

  3. NONNIE says:

    i’m sure there are going to be some tree hugging hippy mom’s who say this is “bad for the baby”. Like a girl I know…she’s one of them and considers walking bad for the baby.

    • Relli says:

      Um speaking as tree-hugging hippy mom (with a corporate job) that sounds more like a lazy person statement than anythign else.

    • Me says:

      Its true, tree hugging hippie moms loathe exercise when pregnant. Its the epidural/bottle queens that would be more likely to say tennis is bad for the baby… if you think about it.

  4. Margot says:

    I’m no tree-hugging hippie mom, but common sense tells me that any sport in which hard rubber balls are flying at me isn’t a sport I want to play while gestating a child. Take it from a girl who played tennis for 7 years: getting hit the stomach and torso happens much more often than you’d think, especially if you’re an amateur. However, Reese may have good reflexes and can dodge a hard rubber projectile moving at incredibly fast speeds.

    • CAKat says:

      Proof that it is not us tree hugging hippie moms (also with a corporate job) that look down on acting normal while you’re pregnant…it’s worry warts that medicalize everything. The baby is very protected…

    • Mike Hill says:

      Well, maybe it depends on the person, how you feel, etc. but it can be good at some level. If you don’t have any pregnancy-related medical condition and your doctor is fine with it, it’s a good thing. Like I said, at some level.

      Contact sports are safe only in the first trimester apparently.

    • chaser says:

      Pffft – I’m 6 weeks preganant and am playing competitive netball. Tennis is nothing compared to that. I’ll play until my stomach gets in the way, I get too slow or until my ob says its not safe. So far I’m low risk and my GP and ob support me 100% and even recommended that I continue playing for my health and sanity.

    I can end all the nonsense quickly.

    This is a staged photo op. You cannot just come in and hang out to take pictures of people at this country club. You need to be invited and get permission. So she invited and got permission.

    She was athletic prior to pregnancy????? Really??????

    • beep says:

      yeah she was. She was also an avid runner. Not too long ago she got hit by a car while running.

    • Samigirl says:

      She was a runner. I have a girlfriend who ran all throughout her pregnancy and ran a marathon 6 weeks after her c section. If your body is already well conditioned, excercise dying pregnancy is healthy. One shouldn’t use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy.

      • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

        +1 Unless you are ordered to bed rest by your Dr., dont treat it like an illness. It’s healthy to be/remain active, as long as you dont go “overboard.”

      • BabyCakes says:

        When I had my first child and I was a waitress, I went back to work 4 weeks after a C-section. It depends on the person. I think it’s great she was running that quickly. Good for her.

      • Samigirl says:

        @Babycakes, EXACTLY. I was waiting tables when I was pregnant, also. I worked up until 2 days before I gave birth (I was 40w 3d) and went back to work at 3 weeks (I was broooooke). I didn’t have a c-section, of course, but I still consider myself pretty hard core for jumping back in so quickly. I felt wonderful after both of my childbirths. I was up and walking right after my epidurals wore off.

    • Linny says:

      So, what, you think people who belong to country clubs won’t take pictures and sell them?

  6. SoCal says:

    You all are worried about rubber balls flying. The concern should be her heavy drinking prior, during the first 3 months and right before her “source” announced it!!!! That is much more than flying rubber balls!!!!!

    • Michele says:

      Reese has a heavy drinking problem? That’s a new one for me. I never heard that rumor before.
      Her belly really popped out. She looks cute. Good for her keeping active during her pregnancy.
      I can’t wait to see her on the Cannes red carpet with her cute baby belly.

  7. Anne says:

    She’s successfully managed to give birth to two healthy children–I’m pretty sure she can handle her pregnancy without the advice (or criticism) of the world.

  8. dorothy says:

    Good for her..not letting pregnancy slow her down. Exercise is important, pregnant or not.

  9. tracking says:

    It sounds like she was just practicing, with soft lobbed balls (I’m sure the instructor was careful). It’s not like she’s playing a competitive match. I would think the risk of injury would be incredibly small.

  10. Victoria says:

    BFD, it’s not like she’s skydiving, or swimming with great white sharks. She’s entitled to be active while pregnant.

  11. Courtney says:

    oh please some women that want to stay active while pregnant are sidelined by serious complications that make working out dangerous so shut your traps

    • Relli says:

      Courtney, chill. I don’t think anyone was saying anything against anyone who has to be on limited movement BECAUSE of being pregnant. Everyone is responding to the first poster who is generalizing about hippy, tree-hugging moms and being active while pregnant.

  12. lost in the barrens says:

    Kourtney should kick Scott out of her life nevermind the house.

  13. serena says:

    That woman beside her seems Dame Goop.

  14. G says:

    Geez. It’s her body people.

  15. samira677 says:

    I guess Reese playing tennis is supposed to be shocking but plenty of professional athletes continue their sports well into their second trimester, some even 3rd. Including tennis players and marathon runners.

  16. Mew says:

    Omg. She does something else than eats tons and waddles around “fashionable” in 20 inch heels. Omg. So radical.

    She plays tennis. So what?
