I rode as a passenger 30 years ago when pregnant, with my doctor's blessing. I rode up until 4 weeks before my son was born. I waited until he turned 18 then bought my own bike. If you are confident of your own skills, or as a passnegr, the skills of the driver - and your preganancy is not complicated - you should be able to be on a bike for a long time. Of course, I noticed the vibration of the bike tended to make me want to pee...so there were quite afew pitstops!

I ride and my daughter rides passenger whenever she gets a chance. She recently got pregnant and her OB/Gyn said that she could not ride because the vibration of the bike could cause increase the miscarriage rate during the first trimester. We wondered about it but if the risk was there she wasn't willing to take it.
