My husband and I have paid in full for a trip to Orlando in November and plan to ride on a LOT of rides. We have been trying to get pregnant and I just want to be sure that if we did conceive before our trip, I wouldn't do any damage.

nope, I don't think you can go on rides, it's dangerous.

I wouldn't recommend it, the rides always have a warning to not go on if you are pregnant. I did not go on any rides in my first trimester when we went to the fair, yes it sucked but is the risk worth it, no. So either put off trying to conceive till after the trip or just don't go on the rides....Some rides are ok, the mild ones where your not whipping up, down, around or having lots of resistance to your body.

Yes you can. You can do anything for the first little while. The only thing I don't recomend is having a ride where something hard and strong will be across you tummy. When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was 1 month and half. My doctor told me I could still do anything like horseback riding and water skiing as long as I wore a wet suit lol. Now I didn't go water skiing...but you should be just fine. Just be careful and any ride you think might hurt your tummy like something with a bar across you. Just make sure you are careful or maybe try all the other rides instead. Good luck on getting pregnant and have fun on your trip.

I ran into a similar situation when I was pregnant. I asked my doctor and he said it wouldn't be a problem during the first tri-mester. I did end up losing my baby.
In retrospect, I wish I hadn't gone on the rides. I can't say for sure what caused the miscarriage but for a couple moments of fun I had on a roller coaster, my husband and I suffered through some really dark and sad times. It just wasn't worth it.
My advice if you are trying to conceive, is try to do everything you can to keep your baby safe. If the trip is really important I would wait on trying to have a baby!!
Good Luck

I would avoid any ride that states "if pregnant don't ride". There is no likelihood of problems if your are 6 weeks, none whatever, but the further along you are, the more likely the high G rides could potentially cause a problem. If you had a miscarriage, it would be unlikely related to your riding (since there is a 10% rate of miscarriage in the first 12 weeks anyway), but you would likely believe it was your fault because you went on the ride.

I'm not sure if it's safe or not but I did. When I was about 2 months pregnant I went to Six Flags Great Adventure and rode every ride in the park. Everything is perfectly fine with me and the baby.

I can't believe you'd ever consider it! If you become pregnant, stick to the merry go round...Why would you even chance it?
You want to ride the rides? Then do not get pregnant....
You want a baby? Don't ride the rides
It's that simple...

The more serious rides will advise you against riding on them if you have heart problems or are pregnant.They have signs put up warning you before you go on the rides.In the early stages of pregnancy you are at more risk of miscarriage.

Not and make sure that your baby is safe. Honestly, no offense, but that was kind of a stupid question. It was about as bad as the question about the girl whose dog had flesh wounds and hair loss could do for her dog without taking it to the vet. If you really want a baby, and love it. Then you won't do anything that could hurt it.

I did with the only side effect being I felt a bit more motion sickness on the roller coaster than I may have normally felt... I wouldnt risk it past the 1st trimester tho... have fun!
