Motorbikes

Does anyone ride?
Have you stopped/when?
My boyfriend has one and I sit in the back of it. Midwife said it was fine. Just wondering about anyone else.
Please don't tell me how dangerous they are, I KNOW that. He'll be an instructor in two months and I trust him completely.

I used to ride dirt bikes allllll the time before getting pregnant. I love it, but being on those while pregnant is definitely not worth the risk. I guess most women who ride feel they can until they start showing, but I feel like it's just too risky. Any way I can keep my baby out of danger and have a safe pregnancy, I'll do. Cause there's already so much that can go wrong and it not be your fault.

I wouldn't. I used to ride with my hubby and he is very safe. Most of the time it's the other drivers you have to worry about not the one your riding with. A lot of people don't think to look for motorcycles. In a car your at least protected. Motorcycle not so much.

I road on the back of my husband's bike up until about 20 weeks or so but it started getting cold so his bike was put away. I don't think I would have continued after much longer anyways but midwife said it was ok too.

Lol I'm a Harley girl myself, but haven't gone riding since I found out I was pregnant. My Dr. "suggested" I don't, but I guess it's a matter of choice. Honestly @ 28 weeks don't even know if I would want to. If you choose to, enjoy I'm living vicariously through you ;:
