Nope, not worth the chance.
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.

It doesn't take a doctor to know that you cannot ride a coaster while pregnant. It is explicitly posted on the enterance to the roller coaster that people who are expecting shouldn't ride roller coasters.

Any doctor will tell you NO just to be on the safe side. I do know you can continue with daily activities up until your 2nd trimester.....ie... if you played softball, you could continue up until your 13th week. I am betting that riding a roller coaster might be the same. Any time after that I think if the roller coaster people see you showing they will deny you access to the coaster. It's just better safe than sorry anyway. Just have to pass on the fun this time (if you're over the 13 week mark)!!

I am no doctor, but all roller coasters have signs that say you can not ride if pregnant. If something were to happen they do not want your lawyer coming after them.

The bigger, spinning rides AND roller coasters have signs by them (at permanent amusements parks, not fairs or carnivals) specifically warning women who are pregnant, anyone with high untreated blood pressure or heart problems to NOT ride.

I'm not a Dr. but the amusement parks will not allow you to ride rides if you are pregnant its unhealthy for the baby.

I was recently at Disneyland and most of the rides said that expectant mothers should not ride the rides.

I'm pregnant and I wouldn't risk harming my baby or myself for minute of fun.

I'm not a doctor, but it's best not to.
