Is it safe to ride a motorcycle during early pregnancy?

Question

I usually go to office as pillion on bike and I am around 6 weeks now. Roads near my house have many bumps, so I am nervous. Should I avoid bike rides in early pregnancy?

Gayatri Kumar · Answer

I used to commute by scooty but switched to cab/auto once I conceived. The bumps and sudden stops made me too nervous. It costs a bit more but the peace of mind was worth every rupee honestly.

I'd avoid it yaar, too many bumps and falls risk. Car/auto is safer na.

I'd really avoid riding a two wheeler in pregnancy honestly. The jerks, bumps and risk of a fall are just not worth it, especially early on. If u must travel, prefer a car. Please ask your gynac too.

Haan dekho thoda risky hota hai na, especially our roads with so many gaddhe. Agar zaroori ho toh slow and careful, but I personally avoided it early on. Car ya auto is just safer.

Short careful rides on smooth roads as a pillion, many manage. But riding yourself, with our traffic and bad roads, I'd skip it. One sudden brake or pothole isn't worth the risk. Better safe na.

Beta in early weeks I'd be extra careful. It's not the bike itself but the jerks and chance of a fall. If there's any other way to travel, take that. And do mention your travel to your doctor.
