Any pregnant biker mums?

[mackinnonka]

Just wondering whether there are any other biker ladies out there and how/if they are adjusting riding when pregnant.

I was en route to my bike dealer to sell my bike yesterday (barely used it in the 18 months i've had it, husband doesn't ride and neither do my friends) and ended up having an accident/coming off it, aside form the fact i managed to cause a grands worth of damage to my bike, the terror that ran through me knowing that I am pregnant (very early days) and it could have been a lot worse was an awful feeling.

Made me think I was doing the ride thing in putting my riding aside for a while, but also feel like I am losing my 'just for me' hobby :(

Not pregnant now but I rode when I was. Didn't think anything of it tbh. I only ride until I couldn't get in my leathers anymore though and that wasn't long.

I was thinking about going back to biking until I got pregnant with DC3 (really didn't seem likely). But hey, another 6-8 years maybe I can take it up. I know what you mean. It is a very 'me time' hobby thst I miss.

I don't ride any more. Rode a bit when expecting DC1 but there's no way I could get back on now (aside from not fitting in my leathers....). One, I am too knackered to ride safely and secondly I can't get rid of the "what if" thoughts. DH still rides though.

I couldn't justify a bike sitting in the garage depreciating so I sold my CBR.

I rode my bike until it was no longer comfortable and I couldn't do my gear up.
I got to 5 months.
It was my first pregnancy, but if I were to be pregnant again I would stop riding as soon as I knew.

Verypunny - mines a CBR too, looking a bit worse for wear now!

Will patch up through insurance and sell on, agree with here being no point paying finance on it me it not getting used/depreciating.

Had been thinking about selling before I knew I was pregnant, keeping my gear and hoping I'll still fit into it when I go back to riding!

I sold my bike at about 5 months pg when I couldn't get into my leathers. I've just started riding again on a borrowed bike, youngest dc is 5. The leathers just about fit!!

I got to 5 months then stopped. Never been on a bike again and DS is 3 now.
I loved biking and we did thousands of miles, but I can;t shake the "what if" feeling either.
Expecting DS2 now and DH has just sold his bike this weekend as he's barely used since arrival of DS1 and now with a second on the way, it's a waste of money sitting there in the garage.

Might go back to it when the children are much older, I do miss it, but not enough to do it iyswim.
