Very sad - I was told not to ride

[HappyAnika]

Xeney: Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you! I myself hope to be embarking on the adventure of pregnancy soon.

Having discussed the issue both with my doctor and my best friend who is a doctor, the plan is to ride until I feel uncomfortable/unsafe. As far as safety issues, I will not be doing any strenous climbs or superfast descents while pregnant. I will only ride when conditions are good in areas I know and feel comfortable riding in. It will be more casual riding in efforts of maintaining fitness, not competitive riding in efforts of increasing fitness. As I said, this is the plan. I realize things may happen that might change that plan, depending on how the pregnancy progresses and how I feel.

I'm in full support of your riding while pregnant as long as your doctor agrees and you feel good about it. I totally agree with you about the laundry thing. I manage to hurt myself doing lots of things other than riding. Such is life.

I was talking with DH about this thread and he started laughing. What was so funny? He says "You got SO big so fast, the very thought of you getting on a bike..." sheesh

It's true though.. pretty hard to ride any sort of bike when you are big as a house!
