Riding during pregnancy?
Interesting to talk about it since it´s so different from woman to woman and also from culture to culture. I am in the 7th month and cannot ride much anymore but a little one day or another I make an effort to do. The feeling afterwards is so good and it makes a huge difference in my mind! It gives me a lot of energy that before sitting up on the horse I´m pretty sure I don´t have any more!
In some countries, like in Brazil where I come from, people believes that I´m absolutely irresponsible and I shouldn´t have got up on a horse back since the 3rd month! They say the doctors say so....Why? I can´t tell! Pregnancy is not any kind of sickness and should not be treated like so! Of course in special cases you have to stop riding very early and other cases, as I heard many, the women manage to ride up to the last weeks! There is not such a rule in my opinion. What do you think? Are you a rider and a mother and has had any other experience about it?
Anki, who won one of her gold medals when pregnant and has 2 kids while her career has been absolutely at the top, can tell!
