Can i go to an amusement park??

Question

I am 5 weeks, 1 day pregnant today and we are going to Universal Studios tomorrow. I plan on riding EVERYTHING and having a great time since its sooo early in my pregnancy. I should be fine right?

Answer

I don’t recommend it

Answer

Doesn't matter how early or far along you are,you should not ride any of the rides.

Answer

It's generally not recommended if you know you are pregnant.

Answer

Personally I would not do anything that would out my baby at risk, no matter how early in the pregnancy. That does not sound safe and typically rides have signs that say not to go on them if you're pregnant

Answer

I wouldn't ride anything if it were me.

Answer

I wouldn't. Is that 1 day of fun really worth the risk? Go back when you arent pregnant.
From the American Pregnancy Association:
The concern with roller coasters, thrill rides, and virtual rides during pregnancy is associated with the rapid starts and stops, the jarring forces, and the pressures against the body that occur during these types of rides. 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.
The jarring force from even slow automobile accidents has caused placental abruption, miscarriage and other complications for women who are pregnant even when the trauma is not directly to the uterus. Although the jarring force is usually less with amusement park rides, it still warrants precaution.
Although there are women who have been pregnant and ridden the various thrill rides 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 enjoy the rides after you deliver your baby.

Answer

There’s a reason the rides have warnings for pregnant women not to ride them. Clearly you don’t care but I wouldn’t risk my child’s life for a couple of rides.

Answer

If rides say not to ride while pregnant there’s obviously a reason . Don’t be selfish think about the well being of your child and not about having fun on rides .

Answer

Ask your doctor! I wouldn't but your doc is the one to ask this to

Answer

The first trimester is the most critical for brain and spinal cord development. Why risk the health of your baby for a day that may not be as fun as you anticipate it to be.
