Can I?

So I want to go bike riding with the family but I have never been told if its ok or not. I am 5 months and we have no hills or rough areas in our neighborhood. I want to keep up with the rest of the family...I feel weird waddling behind DH and DD.

Re: Can I?

  • I would think that would be okay if you are comfortable. It isn't like mountain biking where I believe some pregnant women even do that.

    Ditto what others have said.  I've been bike riding a couple times now that it's warm out.  Just take it easy, and enjoy the exercise! :)
  • I think the real concern with bike riding while pregnant is that your balance may not be very good because your center of gravity changes as your belly grows. If you want to try, just be careful. ::mobile smiley::
  • My doctor told me I could until it got uncomfortable. I definitely don't go as far or as fast, but I still ride a few times a week.

  • Thanks for asking this question! With the summer months quickly approaching, I was also curious as to if this was alright or not!

  • I think they say no because of your balance being off.

  • If this were me, my personal concern would be that I can't even lift my legs straight up to put my socks on anymore - I have to twist my knee sideways - so biking would be a bit awkward for me lol. 
    But like others have said, I think balance would
