I cycle to commute to work. I can take the bus but prefer cycling as it’s faster.

I read online pregnant people shouldn’t cycle but no explanation why. I can imagine if your 8 months pregnant and with a large belly, there could be challenges. But I don’t understand why there would be an issue during first and second trimester when the belly is not large.

Any information on pregnancy and cycling?

    I recently moved to The Netherlands. I expected to see pregnant people cycling. I did not expect to see people who look like they could be on their way to the hospital cycling.

        A buddy of mine recently cycled to the hospital to get pneumothorax surgery. It is not recommended to cycle to the hospital for pneumothorax surgery.
