Thanks, Dave, and that's one of the key concerns. If
the Docs say it won't affect his ability to do it,
great. Conversely (and more importantly to me), I
would not want the competiton to affect his health
adversely.. :)
Now you've got me wondering about "a whole nuther"
mental picture.... :) I can't see a normal pregnancy
affecting a female's ability to compete provided she
is comfortable and able to steer normally and her
doctor has no problem with it -- I kinda think I'd
look funny in a helmet and maternity clothes,
though...what is the "most pregnant" (months-wise)
that you've ever seen a female autocrosser??
