Does anyone know if this is okay? My next doctor appt isn't until 6/4 and I don't want to call just to ask.

    The actual motorcycle ride is probably ok, but I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it because of the risk of injury if there is an accident.

    When we went to Key West when I was 6 weeks pregnant, I rode on a scooter with my DH. I made him drive super careful. I don't think I would get on a motorcycle though.

    This... I have gotten on the bike a few times with my husbnd but i can't stop worring when i'm on it.  I don't know if it's because I am pregnant or if something happens then Tanner will lose us.  Funny how being a parent changes us.. lol

    Yeah, you ladies are probably right. I think I'm really paranoid that something will happen. Ever since my m/c, I'm pretty much afraid to do anything that may be a potential problem causer.

    My best friends husband is a Bandito & she rode to her babyshower( she was big pregnant) on a motorcycle. She and baby were fine.  But I did have cousin that got into a motorcycle accident & when she went in for surgery they realized she was pregnant. Her daughter is almost 3 and doesn't talk & just start walking a week ago.

    I wouldn't do it!

    I have a Harley and I've kind of stopped riding for the time being. My Dr was concerned because of the vibration. Of course she didn't like the fact that I ride at all but she said that it should be fine  to continue riding (if my bike didn't have the vibration) until my balance changes.

    Personally, I know there is a risk of accident, but I knew that when I started riding, non-pregnant. I'm just laying off because my bike shakes so dang much (damnn Harley!) and it's pretty loud. If I had a BMW (one day), I'd still be riding.

    And don't feel afraid to ask the Dr for things. That's what they're paid for!
