Can you ride a bike in early pregnancy?

Question

I use my scooty daily for office and just found out im pregnant, around 6 weeks. The roads here are so bumpy that im scared now. Is it ok to keep riding in these early weeks or should I stop? anyone continued riding?

Jyoti Hegde · Answer

Better to avoid, mainly because of bumpy roads and fall risk. Ask your gynac.

Sushma Taneja · Answer

I would keep two wheelers to a minimum yaar, the jerks arent worth the worry. Run it by your gynac and go by your own situation to be safe.

Ambika Anand · Answer

I was advised to avoid two wheelers especially on bumpy Indian roads, the jerks and risk of a fall worried my doctor. Early pregnancy I just stuck to car or auto. Please ask your gynac, especially if you have any spotting or history.

Yamini Hegde · Answer

I commuted daily and switched from scooter to cab once I knew I was pregnant. The bumps and sudden braking just felt risky. If you must, go slow and avoid bad roads, but honestly safer transport is worth it for these months.

Indu Chadha · Answer

Short smooth rides as a pillion are usually okay early on, but our roads are full of potholes so I avoided it. The fall risk is the real concern, not the riding itself. Use a cab when you can and check with your doc.
