Oh to have an OB who wasn't worried to death about falling!
Now that my belly is protruding falling or crashing is definitely becoming more of a concern. My balance is still fine, and I predict it won't be an issue for a while, if ever (I've adapted to overpacked touring bikes vs light responsive racing frames with no problem... Perhaps pregnancy won't be much different??). My real concern is that the fetus is much more vulnerable in an accident now. There are so many women who ride up to their 9th month, and it still feels great for me, just not sure what I'll do over the next few months. I know placental abruption is a possible serious consequence, but I've heard it only happens as a result of pretty severe crashes. If that's the case I can certainly give up pacelines (I too have given up on most group rides as I inevitably push it too hard) and screaming down hills for the time being. Have either of you heard opinions about the impact a crash could have on a fetus?
