Wow! I am so happy that my girlfriend got pregnant. I truley feel that it is a miracle. Before we knew she was pregnant we were planning a bicycle touring trip. Basically we will be riding up and down mountains on bicycles about 5 or more hours per day camping and hoteling at night. When we go on this trip she will be starting her 4th month of pregnancy. I don't know anything about pregnant women. Is this bicycle trip still possible? Would this kind of exercise pose some risk to my girlfriend or our baby? If we rode leisurely and less hours per day might it be okay? Any advice or knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

I was told to avoid a bicycle in case of a fall, but other than that it is ok. I would have her call her dr just to be sure.
