I rely on my two-wheeler for daily commutes. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm worried if it's safe to continue riding a two-wheeler, especially in the early months. What are the common recommendations?
Honestly, riding a scooty on Indian roads with all the potholes is very risky and can lead to complications. It's better to spend a little on autos or public transport than risking hospital visits and expensive treatments later. Safety first!
I totally understand that commuting is necessary, but please try to avoid two-wheelers if possible. The jerks and bumps can be so unsafe for your precious little one. Please take a cab or auto and go slowly.
Riding a two-wheeler is quite risky due to sudden brakes and bad roads. Try walking for exercise instead if your doctor allows, and use safer transport for commuting.
The doctors at my hospital strictly advised against riding two-wheelers after the first trimester because of the balance issues and road bumps. Please consult your gynac clearly about your daily commute options.
While some women do ride in the early months, most gynecologists advise against it because of the risk of falling and the heavy jerks on our roads. It's best to discuss your specific case with your doctor.
Instead of riding a scooty which has zero shock absorption, I preferred walking daily which was allowed by my doctor. Please avoid two-wheelers to keep your cervix and baby safe from sudden impacts.
