I was
4 months pregnant with my first. Didn't tell anybody because my family is
non-horsey people. At 4 months I won a blue ribbon jumping. My son
was 1 month late coming into this world and I too was induced. He is
25, 6'3" and just got out of the Navy after 7 years and is going to
school. You should see him ride, he is a natural jumper. And dance,
he looks like Fred Astaire........ The more fit you are the easier
the delivery...... so they say.

Laura did great when she rode pg. She was
fit, healthy, and had one heck of a good time. I rode until about 10
days before delivery. I knew every rock, tree, and shrub where I could
tinkle too. I cantered and whatever else. The neighborhood figured
I was going to have my kid while riding. I didn't, he is 34 now, fights
fires in Oregon, is 5' 6" (heighth comes from dad), is smart altho lazy.
He went to college, majored in Russian, and now is getting a degree in
Forestry. (I told you so son). He is a good kid, a balanced
rider, a fantastic skier who still skiis over the back of mom's skiis to hear
me shriek, a good fire fighter. Like Laura I was fit and practically
doing hand stands to start labor. I still had to be induced. I
figure one does what one is comfortable doing. I will admit to having a
hard time getting on the horse as my belly got bigger. Riding kept me
sane and still keeps me sane.
