Motorcycle Riding During Pregnancy: Safety & Considerations


Question
I am 37 years old, have no children, and am 8 weeks pregnant.  Is it ever alright during my pregnancy to ride on a motorcycle?  Not off-road, but only in town and occasionally the highway.

Answer
It is alright to ride a motorcycle. However, remember that as the pregnancy progresses, your balance changes and your center of gravity shifts backward. You may not have the same balance as you did before and may fall of the bike on turns. If you fall at high speeds, you will definitely injure the baby.
