NO2LA: 8wks w/ #1!

Guest
I just found out I'm pregnant. I'm about 8wks along. I usually ride my bike to college (there and back, about 4 blocks) a day. I had a bit of a scare earlier in the week with some bleeding and dehydration (from morning sickness) that landed me in the ER but the baby is fine. I go for blood work Monday or Tuesday to check my levels but I'm wondering if riding a bike is okay. I know that we're a little off balance during pregnancy but is there any serious warnings against it?
I don't have a doctor yet. The list of 15 that the ER gave me, no joke, the receptionists either flat out told me "no" or hung up on me (I was crying as a pregnant women would!) and so I have to try again with suggestions from my insurance company Monday.
I'm worried because I'm supposed to take it easy since I had some bleeding but DH thinks it's okay. I guess I'll just go with my gut. Would walking be safer?
 
i highly doubt riding ur bike to and from college can do any damage to u or the baby as long as u dont get into an accident or anything...
im 29wks and still occasionally ride bikes... just make sure u have a good comfortable seat lol
