my wife was racing flat track till she was 7 months,,, she was contending for the state championship.. the doctor was ok with it,, after a bad crash in her 7th month she had to quit, she lost the #1 plate that year by 2 points and didn't race the last 3 races.. the kid was fine,, and healthy,, she is now 26 and she is a C.P.A.

Think it would be fine. Just tell her to take it easy. Be safe though. There is always time to ride after the 9 months is up.

My wife is pregnant right now... I wouldnt let her... (mostly because she is nuts on wheels...) But in all reality, We are talking about a child, cant a ride wait a few months?

My wife rode preganant with 2 of our kids..
She was able to ride comfortably up until about 4 months..Then the shaking and bouncing made it uncomfortable..
I wouldnt advise serious riding, but a casual putt-putt should be fine.

I'd merely be cautious if she was 30 ish or older. Seems like the ratio of miscarriages goes up as the females get older. My brothers wife is 37 and she lost her 1st attempt last summer.........

The rest of us can be like Hugh Hefner...... :D

I would wait another couple weeks before putting on a atv. The first 3.5 months of pregnancy are the most dangerous. Much Higher risk of losing the child. after 3.5 months it is a lot more difficult to harm the child.

it depends on what this child is worth. its like gambling. it could be just fine, no problems. but there is a high risk that a problem could occur. I am not a doctor but I am a pre-kindergarten teacher. I get to be with kids everyday ;-)

Congrats to both you guys. Its cool. I just took my son on his first three wheeler ride. As long as she is careful and doesn't ride too hard she and the baby will be fine. Riding a big slow lumbering quad slowly sounds pretty safe. I would just make sure she takes it easy. Time to get a ATC 70.
