No, pregnancy isn't a handicap. But you should consult with your doctor, because he/she will know more about your pregnancy, and have a better idea if it is safe or not for you. If you have any doubts or concerns your doctor is the best place to go because they know your personal case.

I had a co-worker question me being able to wear a seat belt....A SEAT BELT for Pete's sake?!? Then I've had people take a ladder away from me because THEY felt I shouldn't be using one. I have a manager that won't even let me use step stools anymore. Then I have another manager that lets me do my job as usual, but will make some adjustments to my work if I ask for them. (I really like her. She doesnt treat me like im stupid or handicapped just because I'm pregnant. :D)  Some people just amaze me with some things they come up with though. In all honesty, I wouldn't think that riding quads during a normal healthy pregnancy would do much harm unless you were doing really rough offroading where you're being harshly jerked around or the seat belt pulls tight on your stomach.  If you're concerned, always check with the doctor.

Thank you jade I say that to my mother in law all the dam time!! And I'm not quading just running and squating and work out stuff man. Pregnancy does not equate to handicap just adjust your level of activity for how far along you arw

That's the worst advice I've ever heard. So sex can cause miscarriage or riding in a care? What about walking?? That's a little vague. I shoot guns snowmobile race and quad. Being pregnant means your pregnant not disabled!!!!!

My husband has a quad and I go quading with him. .I'm 30 weeks but we usually just stick to roads. . No off roading. :) don't wanna risk anything with to many bumps. . Example your water breaking.

If your body needs to miscarry it will...or trauma, i was advised i could ski skate water ski(with wet suit) as long as doctor says your ok (cervix is good condition) of course some sports are harsher than others but i didnt find the side by side hard on my body at all (we also have one) if you've been in it before and it doesnt freak you out than just double check with your doc.
Miscarriages can be caused by trauma or if your body needs to terminate pregnancy...just the bouncing of the machine wont actually cause the miscarriage. majority of miscarriages are inavoidable..however could be induced earlier than the body had anticipated..
Most of all talk to your doctor :)
Have fun!

As long as you are not being thrown around you should be fine. Your baby is well padded. I had to give up my sky diving trip though.
