Isabelle - Oh, I don't envy you with the neausea:( I had some heartburn, and a strange hungry but always feeling full (gas?) feeling, but no actual barfs.

Looking forward to seeing you and baby out in the warmer months!

Vee - Congrats on the new baby! I hope my 2nd delivery is as "no prob" as the 1st one too.

Mette - I figured it was normal everywhere else except here, where having a baby somehow means you've contracted some sort of disease and you can't go out anymore.

I saw that post too, and good for her! My main concern would be how the bike gets back to my place the day after. Even if I could TO the hospital, I'm not sure how confident I would be riding FROM the hospital... depending on how things went.

I absolutely agree with your assessment that a cargo bike would have been most welcome in this instance:)

Living in Denmark I see pregnant women on their bikes every day and most keep on biking untill their bellies get in the way.

I found this last week and wanted to show it to you: Cycling with contractions http://www.copenhagenize.com/2011/09/cycling-with-contractions-to-hospital.html

I wouldn't want to do that though. If I were in the situation - not owning a car nor having the money to pay for a taxi, I would demand that my boyfriend borrowed a cargo bike, so that I wouldn't have to ride my bike to the hospital!

This cruiser is what happens when you mix a classical-styled bicycle with a vibrant color pallet Hermosa Beach.

I love that there are ladies out there cycling while pregnant! I cycled (& walked on days when my balance and/or nausea was not good) through both my pregnancies (my 2nd child was born only 4 weeks ago).

My OB told me that was one of the reasons I had drug free, straight forward, natural births both times. Cycling is great for your endurance, body strength and sense of well-being. As long as you feel comfortable doing it, don't listen to the naysayers. Pedal away and stay active!

Thanks for this post! I am around 23 weeks pregnant and unfortunately I haven't cycled since about 8 or 9 weeks. I had a lot of early morning nausea, which was when I had to go to work, so biking to work was not so feasible. Now that it's winter my bike is really not equipped to ride. I can't wait to get back on the bike this summer once my baby is born!
