Hi all! I'm after a few opinions. I cycle a lot, I have to as it is imperative to my job. I'm self employed and cycle to & from clients homes, I can't drive & don't want to learn, I absolutely hate it! Scares me to death!
Anyway, I'm starting to get a bit worried about cycling when I am pregnant. How safe is it? Most of my journeys are relatively flat, but the hills that are in there are awful! Really tough to get up, so even now they wear me out. I recover quickly though. Would that do my unborn baby harm?
I've gone back & forth on the issue really, if I keep cycling then I'm worried I will hurt the baby somehow, if I stop cycling then I have to let my clients go at short notice & if I lost the baby then I'd have no baby & no business.. but then if I kept cycling & lost the baby then I'd never forgive myself!
Please, any opinions are greatly appreciated! Thank you xxx
