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?

If they are Dutch, just for the brief moment they are giving birth 😝

    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.
