Just jumping into this thread, I remembered these comments and they gave me the confidence to keep cycling up until the last day of my pregnancy.
Nowhere terribly exciting - just to Blackford or Marchmont, but it remained much less effort than walking.
"I remembered these comments and they gave me the confidence to keep cycling up until the last day of my pregnancy."
That's good.
Just looked at one of the links on the previous page -

I continued to climb right up until ten days before the birth

Mrs Paddy did a navigation course in the Pentlands when 7 months pregnant. The (stand-in) instructor's face was a picture...
For posterity - ARobWife suffered from an incredibly bad back and had to give up cycling something like 3-4 months in. She's pretty frustrated about it, but bear in mind she does not have a sit up and beg type bike so she'd possibly be struggling on drop bars by now (6-7 months).
She's still walking a lot, in fact she's out in the pentland hills as I type.
Yeah, I had to stop at 4 mo because my hips were in pain, I couldn't be confident that when I put my foot down that my leg wouldn't collapse.
My partner made it to 8 months - though she kept coming home and complaining that folk on road bikes were faster than her (she rides a 9-speed mtb) and that her knees kept hitting her bump when she tried to go faster.
Actually this was me that started the thread. I managed to cycle until about 6 months but then the baby was pressing too hard on my diaphragm and i was getting really breathless. It was such a shame as I also had plantar fasciitis and could barely walk so lost my only mode of transport other than the car.
If I'd had a sit up and beg bike I'd have cycled until the end if I could.
