Sure: Get yourself a very cushioned pad to sit on during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of your pregnancy.

Question 3

can you ride upside down rides when you are pregnant?

Not recommended: Roller Coasters are best avoided in pregnancy.  There are not studies on this; however, the extra G-forces and jarring could theoretically cause pre-term labor, membrane rupture of separation of the placenta from the uterine wall.   Best wishes!

Question 4

I would suggest: Gentle rides that are not high velocity, non -impact, that don't spin you upside down. Would approach with common sense- regarding potential for injury. Congratulations & take care.

Question 5

i ride my bike for exercise, can i still do this during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with caution: The main worry with riding a bike while pregnant is the risk of falls.  Be sure to wear a helmet, and try to ride carefully.  As you get closer to term, balance may become enough of an issue that you stop riding for a while, but until then it's great exercise.  Good luck!

Question 7
