Yes you can ride the lawn mower. You can do pretty much everything you did now as before you were pregnant. You can ride in a car, have sex, take a shower, and even mow your lawn.

Yes but you have to be careful- don't strain yourself too hard, mostly just don't overheat. Don't cut the grass in the mid-afternoon- do it either in the morning or evening. Also drink plenty of water and rest often. Also remember as you get more pregnant you will have problems with balance- not only because of the increased size of your belly but also your tendons loosen to prepare for birth. So make sure you're careful around the mower, you don't want to hurt yourself.

I think it is safe to ride a lawn mower while pregnant, I would just be careful either way.

Don't see why not (unless doc has put some restrictions on activities). Some of us still use push mowers to cut the grass, lol!! Best of luck.

Ride to your hearts content. My wife was still riding a horse at 8 months.

I think as long as it is not to much stress on your body. If you can take the vibration of it or if you find it some what enjoyable whatever the case my be, if you do not have any complaints body wise then do it. Or better yet if you are still doubtful ask your OB/GYN his or her thoughts on it.
Good luck!

Yes you are fine. Stay away from ditches or hills so you don't take a chance of it falling/tipping over. Also make sure you stay hydrated if its extremely hot outside.

Yes, of course it's fine. It's not like it's a wild horse or a fast motorcycle or something.

I know a lady who mowed her lawn then started bleeding that night. They were able to stop it but if you can avoid it then it's better to be safe then sorry.
