My doctor said I could keep cycling as long as I feel comfortable (and, yes, she knows I mean "cycling" and not just riding my bike around the neighborhood). I've been fortunate that my tummy isn't huge . . . yet. Most people think I'm only 5 months along when they look at me. I can still sit and balance on my bike comfortably. It's much more comfortable than going for walks. My rides are much shorter now--nothing more than 25 miles. And, I don't ride my bike alone or without my cell phone. The only thing I really have to be careful of is overheating and dehydration. No cycling in 90 degree weather, I drink gatorade BEFORE I ride, and bring an extra water bottle.

For anyone else out there that's pregnant or plans on getting pregnant and wants to keep cycling, I recommend getting large or extra large mens cycling shorts. I tried folding my regular shorts down so it wasn't cutting into my stomach, but it was uncomfortable and I kept getting cramps. I finally bought some mens xlarge. I can pull them all the way up to my chest. It's a great support and I haven't had any problems since.
