Pregnant and riding?

Did anyone ride through pregnancy? Or when did you stop riding, I’d love to continue but not sure, I’m 16 weeks on Wednesday
Thank you🩷

I stopped around 4 months

I stopped riding around 6/7 months! Only because I struggled to get on without nearly falling off as I lost my balance a lot! I had reduced the amount I was riding though and was only riding once or twice a week and mostly walking hacks or pole work in the school.

My plan is to continue through to around 6 months. 13 weeks atm and riding a few times a week

Currently 6 months and still riding 5 days a week and jumping(smaller however still lessoning twice a week) but I’ve heard you’ll know when you are no longer effective…assuming balance would be the first thing to go! Hoping to keep riding for another month or so 🤞🏼

Thank you all, I’m really wanting to carry on riding but was hesitant, definitely think I’ll ride til I feel I can’t! Thank you again xx

13 weeks currently and still riding. I’ve cut back to flat work in the school to minimise risk. I’m hoping to make it to 20 weeks 🤞 energy levels seem to be my struggle atm

I rode until 6/7 months… I stopped when I started feeling nervous and it felt right to! Obviously depends what type of horse you have… I mainly hacked walking around the woods and a bit of trotting :) x

I rode with my 2nd until 18 weeks
My second I didn’t ride her pregnant coz she was ridden behind my back at my old yard and it messed her up
My 3rd I rode her until 25 weeks only coz my hips were so bad with SPD after I ridden I was in pain all night and couldn’t do much for my older too
This pregnancy I would still be riding but coz there’s a broken down tractor in the school I’ve not ridden since July I would still be riding now tho

Listen to your body. I’m 18 weeks and ride occasionally (once every week or two) if I feel like it but if I’m having an off day or feeling tired/whale-like, I won’t.

Will probably stop when bump gets a bit bigger. When I was pregnant with my first I rode until I was 7 months cause it felt right but don’t think I’ll be able to do that this time.

I stopped riding after first trimester. It wasn't worth the risk for me and it felt uncomfortable, same as jogging

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Please be nice as I have anxiety…

So I’m 20 weeks pregnant and I went to the hospital for light bleeding when I wipe ( not ever time though).. the doctor told me it was due to sex and that my cervix was irritated has anyone else experienced this? And or know way to just calm my anxiety from it

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Milestone anxiety

Anyone else really struggling because baby hasn’t hit certain milestones yet? My anxiety is overwhelming me.
