Very sad - I was told not to ride

[limewave]

Hmmm, I hadn't heard about that but I guess it makes sense. My advice is to listen to your body. If you're having pelvic pain, then maybe you should shorten your rides or quit through the rest of the pg. I felt my best when I was riding--it was great. The last week, however, it felt as though the saddle was riding up between my sit bones--that's when I took up walking. Fortunately I only had 2 days after that until I gave birth.

Good luck with everything. I know it can be a frustrating thing trying to stay fit during pg. It seems like everyone has an opinion and they MUST share it with you. Listen to your body and you'll have a great pg.

Do you think a recumbent would work better re: saddle and pelvic issues? Might be kinda late now to find one, but it's worth investigating.

The problem is that I feel great. My doctor never told me to stop if I feel good, but he does not know much about cycling. I can stay fit doing other activities, but I love to ride. I just don't want to end up with any chronic pains after delivery especially if my coach was right about it. I am triying to find some information online to support her theory, but so far nothing. She was pretty sure about her suggestion, and I trust her because she works with athlete women, with riders and she is a rider herself. Oh what do I do?

Agree, better safe than sorry. Perhaps now is a good time to start another fitness regimen. Swimming is great cardio and easy on the skeleton.
