Very sad - I was told not to ride

[Lenusik]

Thank you, ladies! I am still here. I was just replying on the general forum since my pregnancy news arenot really cycling related. I am on the final countdown. So far, we have a list for the names. Thanks to everybody for checking in with me!

To those of you who are urging the pregnant women (I assume most of you are replying to Lenusik and not to me) to "listen to the doctors" and stop cycling, I would just like to point out that in both cases, our doctors said cycling was fine. In her case it was a coach who said to stop cycling, and in my case it was ... well, you guys. Who aren't my doctor, so I'm sort of sorry I posted anything here, and I'll just listen to my doctor, thanks.

Seriously, I find this very disheartening coming from a sports-oriented board, assuming that any pregnant woman who is active must be doing stuff against her doctor's advice. Even when she's said exactly the opposite.

Here's to cycling while pregnant! A woman in jobob and mines club rode her bike up to the day she delivered! She and hubby used to host rides with names like "Bun goes to the Farmer's Market", or "Bun goes for Coffee" (as in "Bun in the oven"). Now she and hubby take turns towing the boys around in a trailer. (No, not twins, two different pregnancies, riding all the while) Listen to your doctors, ride if you can.
