Do some googleing, there's an excellent article out there written by a female cyclist and doctor that talks about what the elite women do when pregnant.
whoo hoo, I found it! http://www.insidetri.com/train/bike/...es/1486.0.html
This parts nuts!
As a physician I do not recommend racing at all once you become pregnant. The late Miji Reoch -- may she rest in peace -- was a groundbreaker in the 1980s. She reportedly won criteriums in her first trimester. For a lot of reasons, I cannot endorse this.
Legend has it she also rode her bike in labor to the hospital. As the story goes, on her way to the hospital, Reoch even critiqued some guy's saddle height and then motored off ahead to the maternity ward. That you just gotta admire. Don't do it, but go ahead and admire it.
