Questionwell I'm 34 weeks pregnant and due sept 9th. my hubby wants to go heavy duty quad riding in oregon and I don't know if this would be safe for me to be doing. Love to hear your opinion on this matter. thanks.
AnswerAny activity that has the risk of falling, collision, or bouncing/jostling/jarring of the body during pregnancy is not advisable and "heavy duty quad riding" certainly falls into this category.
FYI, when I was about 28 weeks pregnant, my car broke down and the tow truck driver gave me a 15 minute ride to a safer location. His truck was really bouncy and it brought on a series of strong (and really scary) contractions that lasted for almost two hours.
Certainly, you don't want to be out in the middle of nowhere, and go into preterm labor. My strong advise is; don't risk it, stay home.
