    I remember 6/8yrs ago sitting next to a mate of mine at the Magpie Rally in front of the stage when some idiots decided it wouild be fun to hoon through the crowd on his trike. Asshole!#*#* it was a real scramble for her to get up & move as she was 8months preggie. That incident & finding big enough elastic to hold her leathers on were her biggest hurdles about riding she has only just sold her bike this year but she plans to be back, probably with the kids in tow.

    Oh & hello & welcome to KB numberone & congrats Katwyn!

    I guess it is something most of us women riders should potentially think about.
    I stopped as soon as I found out (fortunately before I had x-rays) mostly because my arm was being put in a cast. And then it's been because of fear that I might crash and harm/lose the baby, having lots of complications (been in hospital twice now), and because I've already got a tummy and I can't fit into my gear.

    PS Can someone please buy my R6 - I need the money to pay off the family wagon. Gonna keep the RGV250 which we're doing up so that at least I will have something to ride once bub is here.

    Crikey! Congrats :-)

    If the pregnancy is anything like mine was it'll be false advertising!!!

    I hoped I'd be one of the lucky (and smug) ones...you know - The ole "I didn't even know I was pregnant the whole time, it was soooo easy!" SHutup already!

    ....I believed the hype, and as is (I believe) my right had expected to possess the glowing locks, smooth dewey complexion, heightened sense of my sensuality and pheromones that could intoxicate any young single man and drop him on his ass from a mile away!


    In reality I had full term nausea and vomitting, slimy skin, fat(ter) arse, pimply face, stretch marks, high blood pressure, water retention, swollen ankles and hands, leaky boobs, wrinkles, grey hair and a stretched tattoo....


    ....just as well it gave me a fantastic little boy, with a loving and happy nature, who loves me back and makes me proud and who everyday makes me want to be a better person - yeah actually you know, it was definately all worth it! Kia kaha and good luck

    In about 23 years I believe...

    No, seriously, it varies for everyone. Hopefully you'll enjoy the second trimester - anything from about 18 weeks apparently - in my experience from about 21 weeks.

    Congratulations Sue!

    The ailments were real but everyone (doctors/nurses/midwifes) is very quick to point out that being so ill actually is a good sign you're brewing a good strong batch - oh yes indeedy they were right!
