I've had worse bumps and turns on our car ride today, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457305 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:56:06 +0000 Miss Ariel 2457305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: I def wonder about the safari ride too. We'll be going in December and I hope to be pregnant then. Dd will be 2 then, and in most cases the ones she could ride don't have a pregnancy warming. But I know the safari does which I don't get. Maybe because it's bumpy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457270 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:17:20 +0000 schubr03 2457270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457255 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 17:06:41 +0000 mrbee 2457255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: Wow, amazing answer!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457229 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:37:45 +0000 tlcbaby 2457229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@schubr03: That totally makes sense. My husband used to work at Disney, too. He worked in Fantasyland. He loved it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457223 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:33:05 +0000 schubr03 2457223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: however, you are safe to ride anything without a lap bar and without any sudden movements. It is your call, no cast member is going to stop you from riding. However, they may warn you not to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457219 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:31:51 +0000 schubr03 2457219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tlcbaby: hello, so I worked on space mountain! 😊 The reason it is not recommended is because of the lap bar and where it is located. Unfortunately, for most pregnant moms, it lands right on top of the belly and if something were to happen (an emergency stop for example), the stop of the ride vehicle can be pretty abrupt and would put pressure on your belly. It would be the same as you falling on your belly. I have been on the coaster during an emergency stop, and when it stops, it is harsh. It jerks you forward. I know how hard it is, I went to Disney World when I was 7 months pregnant and I had to sit out of all of the coasters, including my "home" space mountain. I can assure you, it's probably best to opt out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457216 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:31:03 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2457216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would ride some things. Like the walk on rides where you can hold a baby on your lap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457201 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:20:55 +0000 tlcbaby 2457201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I was reading a lot of message boards about it during our 13 hour road trip and someone said, "pregnant women have endured much worse hardships than Splash Mountain." :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457196 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:17:52 +0000 HLK208 2457196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of anything happening but I always ask my OB if something is questionable.</p> <p>I went on a few rides very early on with my first pregnancy (I didn't even know I was pregnant yet) and the following week I was thrown off a jet ski multiple times! No problems here. But I probably wouldn't go on the rides later in the first tri or for the rest of the pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-actually-heard-of-something-bad-happening-from-riding-a-roller-coaster-pregnant#post-2457188 Wed, 10 Feb 2016 16:07:51 +0000 tlcbaby 2457188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Asking for a friend. Just kidding. I am on my way to Disney World and I know about all of the warnings and I'm not planning on getting on any roller coasters (maybe the Kilamanjaro Safaris, but no Thunder Mountain), but I've always wondered why you aren't supposed to and it seems the major concern is placental abruption. Definitely very serious and scary, but I haven't found one instance of it actually happening. So it just made me curious if anyone else had? </p>
