When do pregnant people stop cycling? (lemmy.today)

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?

That was my impression, too - it was just the concern about falling. I feel like there might be a tinge of "cycling is so dangerous" mixed in to that.
