I heard that riding a bike is bad but I never asked my doctor. Anybody know? Thanks.

You shouldn't ride a bike or do anything that might be dangerous, if you fall. If you fall, you could really hurt yourself and your unborn child. Just use common sense. Also, when you are in your later half of your pregnancy, your balance will be off. Many pregnant women fall just walking down the street! Trust me! It happens all the time.
Please be careful.

if you did it before you were pregnant then yes it's fine for now,but I wouldn't recomend it after about the 5th month because you lose your balance very easily with a growing belly

I wouldn't recommend it. Avoid any activity that can cause you to fall and hurt yourself or the baby.

Yes, ofcourse.....it won't affect the baby in any way...
Unless you fall, which is why the doc. might not recommend it. So, be careful.......
