Is it safe to ride a bicycle?

Answer 1

The most important thing to learn is that every kind of sports should be done in moderation during pregnancy.

The first rule is to communicate with your doctor and hearing what he thinks about.

It is right maintain a good level of fitness, eat well and avoid gaining too much excess weight, and exercise offers many benefits to both mother and child: increased blood flow, greater oxygen delivery, stress reduction.

But consider that you're living particular changes of your body, because now you are two! Infact you can be more tired than a normal condition, because the weight you have achieved, and you can have difficult to balance and there's more risk that you could fall off the bike.

Another issues to talk about is the period of your pregnancy: biking in the last trimester is not a good idea, you'd better choice a stationary bike inside your home.
