Bicycles and snow sports?

Is it ok to keep riding a bike for exercise, at least during the first trimester? What about winter activities like skating, skiing or sledding?

I'm going to have to agree with mama.

Bike riding should be fine, but winter sports are probably going to be a no-no just for the sheer fact that you could fall and hurt baby. I'm always skating, skiing and snowboarding in the winter and I still fall down all the time. And it's usually a face plant...landing on the belly while pregnant wouldn't be good.

I would say yes to the bike riding. The skating I would say check with your doctor. The skiing I definitly would say no to. The sledding as well. I would stick to making a nice snowman this Christmas lol.
