This.

Rafting can be very rough, or very gentle. Assess your experience level, how much you know about these particular rapids, your personal level of activity/health, and do a risk assessment.

I am also a horseback-rider, and rode until 5-6 months with each of my pregnancies. I think this nonsense about the "motion" of the rafting causing a miscarriage is way over cautious (and not scientifically supported). But I could see how getting thrown out of a raft onto a rock could be bad.
