My wife rode up until about a week before she gave birth. Many years ago, a buddy tried to induce labor by taking this wife for a ride on his hard tail.

Ride Baby Ride !!!!
(you too)

I can't imagine that it would hurt anything since the youngun is pretty well protected in his/her temporary home. I reckon that at some point though it would be prudent to give it up just in case of even the most minor accident. I think you should definitely talk it over with your doctor though.

Keep in mind that each and everyone's body is totally different. Age, diet, physical activity can all affect how long and how successfully an individual carries a child. I'm not saying don't ride, but I'd consult my physician.

Ask you DOCTOR. I would never ask my doctor how to change my oil on my bike.

Only if your baby was concieved on a motorcycle, then it's o.k.

Seriously, your fine to go riding. No different then hopping into a car, truck, boat, airplane, etc. You get the point.
