Avoid amusement park rides, water slides and roller coasters. Forceful landings and sudden sharp stops can hurt your baby.
Similarly, can you ride motion rides while pregnant?
(HealthDay News) — Pregnant women should not ride roller coasters or other jarring rides at the amusement park, says the American Pregnancy Association. The rapid starts and stops and jerky motions that characterize these rides can lead to premature separation of the placenta, the group says.
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.
Herein, is Splash Mountain safe while pregnant?
Kris Kopp writes: I made a trip to WDW when I was 8 months pregnant. I was able to ride Splash Mountain without any trouble. I discussed the rides with my doctor before going and he said that flume rides were OK since they weren’t bumpy (everyone should ask their own doctors first).
