There is substanstial medical information that indicates it takes forces of approximately a car crash to actually damage a fetus. Studies have shown that even playing contact sports is not a problem, other than most women choose not to. More important is to pay attention to balance and heart rate issues. At some point comfort becomes an issue, so do your knees hitting your belly

Many women cycle sucessfully throughout their pregnancies. Of cousre the "discuss it with your doc" caveat applies. There are some old school guys out there that will tell you "no" but there are many docs out there that support active athletic women. Assuming you don't have any contraindications, go for it.
congrats.
I was off the bike by about 7 months, knees hitting the belly, to answer your question.
