Pregnant by bike, can you? Let's hear who's going!
Pregnant on a bicycle
Surely this question will only be asked by the most stubborn bicycle enthusiasts, like me.
I am in my second pregnancy and for many years I have been travelling mainly by bicycle, the last five years on a cargo bike: TAGA BIKE
My friends joke, “You'll come to the hospital to give birth on a bike”! And you know what? I'm thinking about it! )))
The bicycle gives so many advantages over other means of transport, once you get hooked you never leave it!
In fact, I use it all year round and now, even in winter or when it rains, I much prefer to use the bicycle over the car.
When I was still expecting my first child, someone told me that you can't ride a bicycle during pregnancy.
I asked the gynaecologist and he replied that there is no problem. Yes, but she does 30 to 50 km a day, my husband objected. The gynaecologist was speechless. )))
All the same, he repeated that used in moderation, without exerting much effort, cycling is also good for pregnancy.
I used it until the eighth month. Until I was in danger of losing my balance because of a car.
After the birth of our first, much-awaited son-in-law, we discovered the magical world of cargo bikes, in particular TAGA BIKE.
This bike, already stable on its own, was a real breakthrough! I got back in the saddle shortly after giving birth and started using the bicycle 365 days a year.
Why TAGA
Because I felt safer riding the bike during pregnancy than with a small baby. And in TAGA, being a 3-wheel cargo bike with lots of protections developed to protect the baby, I felt and feel much safer.
Now, with my second pregnancy, I can make the comparison. Obviously the TAGA, with its stable structure, is much safer. Not only do I ride my bike in the eighth month of pregnancy, but I also transport my son and his friends! And thanks to the electric motor, I can easily do up to 50 km a day without any effort or fatigue!
Pregnant by bike is possible, especially if this bike is a TAGA BIKE!
