    Cycling while pregnant

    Ok so I am getting a new bike for my birthday. I have never ridden while pregnant and I want to hear from anyone who rode during their pregnancy.

    What type of bike did you have? Any issues due to the bike?

    Thank you

    I cycled on a road/race bike until 38 weeks, and only stopped because my belly was hitting the toptube LOL

    Absolutely no issues whatsoever here

    I cycled my commuter bike until I was about 7-8months pregnant with DD2. I found that I couldn't cycle in traffic as I was too cautious but just cycling locally was fine. After 7-8m I found that my centre of gravity shifted and I felt a bit unstable so I stopped.
