To Pregnant Riders

[Lenusik]

I just wanted to ask how you are doing. How is your riding going? I would like to find out what how things have changed for you if at all. Here are some questions:

1. How far along are you? I am 14 weeks now.
2. How are you feeling in general? I am surprisingly doing well. Had nausea for about 10 days that ended past Monday. It threw me off quite a bit.
3. How is your riding? I still ride, but now it depends on a day. One day I feel great and I ride just as fast as I usually do (20 – 22 mph is not an issue). Going uphill is little slower because I am trying to control my heartbeat. But sometimes it feels like I have lead in my legs. But at least I ride and will continue as long as I can. There are no back pains that some pregnant women experience.
4.How is your baby? So far so good. Just yesterday we heard his/her heart again. I was very happy to see my DH’s smile! Still don’t know the gender.

All the best to you,
