| Wondering how far along were most of you when you stopped competing and at what point did you stop riding completely. |

| Stopped racing at 10 weeks. Went to a race, did ok but when I got off my mare, I was hurtin! So I decided to play it safe and stopped. I rode for about another month but then it started to hurt. |

Have you asked your doctor about Diclegis? Worked great for me. |

| Quit competing and riding up until 24 weeks. I was breezing a young horse through an exhibition, and he scotched really bad at something behind the 3rd barrel. I was never out of shape or close to falling off, but I decided that better be it. I could have kept riding a bomb proof horse we have, but just didn't. |

| I was sick from 6 weeks til I gave birth. I tried every trick I could find and finally broke down and got a prescription for Zofran at about 10 weeks. It never really made me feel great, but it stopped me from throwing up. There are commericals out there that say it creates birth defects, but my baby came out fine. My Dr was completely comfortable prescribing it. I know there is another one out there that makes you drowsy. That wasn't an option for me because i needed to continue to work. |
