Is travelling in bike safe during pregnancy?

Question

My office is close by and hubby usually drops me on the bike daily. Im 3 months now and the bumpy roads make me a little nervous. Is two wheeler ok at this stage or should i switch?

Kiran Raju · Answer

Look, Indian roads are full of potholes and bad drivers. Avoid two-wheelers completely during pregnancy, it’s not worth the risk at all.

Vibha Sundaram · Answer

I totally agree with avoiding bikes, those Indian roads are just too risky during pregnancy.

Devika Rajput · Answer

I am also avoiding bike rides completely now just in case. The sudden jerks and speed breakers can be really scary.

Hemlata Prasad · Answer

It is generally not safe due to Indian road conditions and sudden jerks. Better to avoid it.

Seema Parmar · Answer

Absolutely avoid it, especially in the first and third trimesters. One bad pothole can cause serious complications, so take an auto or cab instead.

My gynac strictly told me to avoid two-wheelers because of sudden braking and jerks. Do your doctors also say the same thing? I feel so restricted sometimes.

Arya Mahajan · Answer

I was just talking to my husband about this yesterday! We decided that once I conceive, no more bike rides because of the bumps.
