There was one of those silly video posts where two pro racer(?) guys poke fun at beer belly riders and their aero testing actually proved the beer belly was more aero! I tried to find the thread. You see... skinny in shape riders create a 'parachute' effect that isn't aero... even when down on the drops whereas the beer belly was aero in all positions. It was pretty silly and funny! So... a pregnant woman should be able to go faster, especially downhill! lol
