She is planning to go to Six Flags, But she is not sure if she can ride the rides. Will it harm the baby if she does ride a ride? She wont ride a ride if it could harm the baby. Is there a website that I give her so she can read it and find out more information?

What is the concern with roller coasters and pregnancy?
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.

For the first 3months if she really wants the baby, she needs to take it easy. This is the most critical time, you can check out baby books and they will tell you every part of the baby that is being formed every week. She could do as much harm as scrambling the babies brain if she were to ride the rides. There is ton's more fun for her to have rather than riding the rides- and hello, morning sickness happens more than just in the morning, she will be miserabley sick. If you have any other questions, you can feel free to ask I have 2 kids and almost every baby book. Check out these websites as well

It could harm the baby if she rode some of the rides. She should probably avoid roller coasters and similar fast paced rides that will jostle her body. While the baby is protected by the amniotic fluid, better safe than sorry! I know it doesn't make for the best trip to Six Flags though!

She definitely should stick to merry go rounds and the ferris wheel. The roller coasters and things like that are NOT a smart idea. When you're pregnant, you can't take aspirin, advil, you shouldn't eat shellfish, you can't go in hot tubs, why would she even think she could go on the scream machine???? She's got to start putting the baby first and sacrificing for the safety of her unborn child.

I wouldn't recommend riding rides. Everyday activities are probably fine, but I would say no to the rides.
Good Luck

I believe on signs posted around every ride, it says that if you're pregnant you shouldn't ride the rides. But if she wants to jeopardize the life of her baby then go for it.

She should ask her doctor. We don't know anything about her physical condition, her OB doctor should know and answer any questions for her.
