Fiancé...I have some questions.

So I'm almost 19 and my Fiancé and I started trying early last month, we found out last week that I'm almost 6 weeks pregnant. This is my first child and his second, he has a 4 year old son. Now this is what im asking about. My fiance really enjoys four wheeling, mudding, and anything else adrenaline related. So I went with him on a fourwheeler ride today. He really likes it when I go with him. And I really want too and enjoy going with him, but after going and thinking about all the times I could have gotten hurt, I'm afraid that I might have or could hurt my baby or cause a miscarriage if I do those things again. I need help, I think he might be forgetting I'm pregnant because I'm not showing any symptoms or have a belly yet. Is that possible? And is it okay for me to do those thing with him or do I have to stop?

You do need to be really careful with things like that. bumpy or jerky rides can cause problems, like separation of the placenta from the uterine wall and could end in miscarriage. Thats why they have warnings on the outside of amusement park rides. On the other hand i have been on four wheelers while pregnant, of course we were very careful to make it a smooth ride. Your baby is floating in a little sac of water which helps keep baby safe, if your not bleeding and or cramping I'm sure your baby is ok. (= i wouldn't say you can't go on a for wheeler, just that you would need to be extremely careful. (=

Thank you for that advice. I haven't had any cramping or bleeding yet. But I didn't expect him to be as wild as he was considering he knows I'm pregnant.

Tell him if he wants you to go he has to take it slow also ask your doctor first I ride 4 wheelers with my fiance till about 24 weeks we just went slow though also I rode horses until then as well and with my last pregnancy I rode NY horse until 34 weeks in the indoor arena at a walk. My doctor said as long as it didn't make me uncomfortable and I was dining it before I could still
