We have the South Florida fair going on right now and I want to go on the rides because I love them, but I am 8 weeks pregnant. I would never do anything to damage my baby, but will the rides do that??

The concern with roller coasters during pregnancy is associated with the rapid starts and stops along with jarring that occurs during the ride. This rigorous activity creates additional jarring forces within the uterus that may lead to premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus, which is called placental abruption.
Currently, there are no studies that document a problem with roller coasters while you are pregnant. Similarly, there are no studies documenting that it is safe either. Automobile accidents have caused placental abruption and other complications for women who are pregnant even when the trauma is not directly to the uterus.
Although there have been pregnant women who have ridden a roller coaster without complication, it is a risk that should be avoided. Amusement parks are good at identifying rides that pose risks to pregnant women.
The safest course of action is to play it safe and avoid the rides that pose a risk; you can always return to the park and ride things after you deliver.

The warning is right there on the rides. Pregnant women cannot ride rollercoasters.

I wouldn't take the chance... just think of all the whirling and twirling your body does while you're on the rides, and your insides are doing the same thing. There will be plenty more fairs for you to enjoy and tons of coasters to ride... just let your little one experience their first coaster out of the womb, just incase :)

It is not safe to go on amusment park rides while pregnant, especially in the 2nd and 3rd trimester. Hold off until next year.

I would stay clear of any rides that jostle you around. All rides have a sign on who can ride the ride. (If you have back problems, pregnant, drinking etc...)
I would stick to the ferris wheel. :)

for the babies sake i wouldn't even if you love the rides. you are basically shaking up the poor child also when you go in for check ups they tell you that you aren't suposse to go on roller coasters and so on. check with your ob/gyn if you want more information on it.
