A member asked:

Is it safe to ride a motorcycle if you are in the first trimester of pregnancy?

Is mom safe?: Is riding a motorcycle ever safe? The biggest danger to the baby would be a motorcycle accident involving the mother. Riding a motorcycle on the highway in the first trimester doesn't pose any special risk to the baby beyond that. Off-road dirt-biking should be avoided during pregnancy during all trimesters. Best wishes!

Never: It is never "safe" to ride a MC. From the CDC-you are 37x more likely to be injured on a MC vs. a car. If you want to bring a bay into the world, think about it. If you get injured, you have a good chance of losing the pregnancy.
