Anyone Go To Disney Pregnant!!!

...Does anyone leave Disney pregnant?

C'mon, honeymooners, 'fess up!

Heehee....
Well, my 2nd DD certainly is a Disney Baby.... my DW and I were travelling a lot then,
and the only time that we were together for something like that to happen was a trip
to DL! We were suprised that she didn't come out with mouse ears on!!!

Yes! We went to WDW when my DW was pregnant with both our DD's!
first time was 6mo and 2nd was 4mo and 7mo (we went lots that year!)
Maybe that's one reason they both LOVE coming to WDW as much as we
do, even though our oldest is 17 now!
1. Take your time.
2. Wear shoes with LOTS of support
3. Stay hydrated
4. keep a sense of humor..

the characters will love her! We had SO much fun with Figment and Dreamfinder (sob!) when she was pregnant with our first DD...

You will know where EVERY restroom is in whatever park you're in.
Trust me.
I found restrooms I had NO idea that they were there.

Oh, and after she has the baby, don't worry about bringing a little one, no
matter what anyone says. You're going, and the baby's coming with you!
Baby services in the parks is great!!!!!

I'll be going to Disney next month and will be 19 weeks along with our first baby on our trip. Your SIL may not be 7 months along by November - I'll be 7 months in November (I'm due Jan 22nd) and I've known I was pregnant since mid-May and am almost 15 weeks, so if she recently found out, she may not be that far along yet.

I've gotten such great information from everyone from these boards about how to do things differently on this trip and we've planned for more rests and water breaks (probably bathroom breaks too!!!).

As far as flying, we had talked about flying before I became pregnant. I've never flown before and really wanted to, but now that I'm pregnant, I'm a little too paranoid even though I've read it's perfectly safe. We are going to drive and my doctor told me to just stop every couple of hours and walk around. I'm sure that thousands of pregnant women fly daily though without any problems. My doctor said I could fly if I wanted, just to get a note from her if I did.

My friend rode Soarin' in May and said that she saw pregnant people riding it and one of the cast members was very pregnant and said she had ridden it about 7 times with no problem. I just plan on not riding the thrill rides and there is still so much to do that I don't think I'll feel like I'm missing out.

I know this will be a different type of trip than we're used to taking, but hey, its Disney World!!! Who cares!!!

Congrats to your SIL!! You guys go and have a great time!

I went and flew at 7 months.....I did fine, but dragged a bit. Had I been 2 weeks further into my pregnancy I would have just sat on a bench the whole time

Anyone Go To Disney Pregnant!!!

*YIKES* i just posted a similar question! i will be going in October and i will be 7 months pregnant. I got the a-ok from my dr. and a letter to take with me in case the airline gives me a hard time! my dr. said not to worry so i'm excited!

I wanted to suggest that your SIL maybe take up walking now and walk throughout her pregnancy, with doctor's ok. That way when she goes, the walking will not be too much of a strain.

I have not read all the posts, but I went 6 months pregnant in the August heat. I had a great time. I never felt exhausted or tired. I drunk plenty of fluids, took afternoon breaks everyday and did not overdo it.

I did check with my doctor first, and he gave me the thumbs up.

I avoided the obvious rides such as Splash, Space, etc...

I would not hesitate to go and have a good time.

LOL I did..but it was so not a honeymoon baby-DS was born about a month and a half before our 9th anniversary...and exactly 9 months after our December 2000 trip

I have been to WDW twice while pregnant-I was 4 months pregnant with DD, I wasn't even wearing materbity clothes, so I wasn't big or anything yet. No different than any other trip except I didn't go on the thrill rides.
We went when I was 6 months pregnant with DS-we drove though(18 hours each way). We went in June and it was so hot that we only went to the parks I think 3 times and the rest of the time hung out at the resort, it was too much for me-the heat.
We had a fantastic time, though.
Anyway since you're going in November that won't be an issue. 7 months pregnant at WDW that time of the year should be great, I think.

I'm not so much concerned about rides because we will use our commmon sense. The flight is what I am worried about. But I know this needs to be determined by her doctor. In fact I was supposed to book our tickets with jetBlue yesterday and decided to wait until she goes to the doctor.

Here is the info on flying: http://www.babycenter.com/refcap/pregnancy/pregnancytravel/6955.html
Here is info on Airlines: http://www.babycenter.com/general/pregnancytravel/pregnancy/6976.html. As long as she has a normal pregnacy, they apply. If there is something else going it, her doctor may recommend not flying.

I didn't leave that way, but that was how I came home. 10 years later that was one expensive souvenir!

GO GO!!!!! Don't let that stop her! I went when I was 6 mos pregnant with dd (now 11), & I just did what my ob said...didn't ride most of the rides...enjoyed the awesome food! (wish there was free dining back then ) We always tease my dd that she's been to WDW 4 times she was just in my tummy the first one!!!

I didn't leave pregnant...DH and were traveling with our 2DD's - ages 2 1/2 and 8 months -- and sharing the hotel room cramped our style a bit
BUT, I did get pregnant the day we returned home, to our own room
so I always considered our DS *My Disney Baby,* in a round about way since I conceived the day we returned

For a while, there was a trend that I had one more child on each trip than the previous trip!

2000 Trip - DD 20 months, I was 5 months pregnant
2002 Trip - DD 2 1/2, DD 8 months, got pregnant the day I returned
2003 Trip - DD 4, DD 2, DS 10 months...

But we've been holding steady at 3 now Phew!
2004 Trip - DD 6, DD 4, DS almost 3
2005 Trip - DD 7, DD 5, DS almost 4

Disney's fun if you are pregnant -- just as long as you take it easy (enough)!

Enjoy!

Just like other posters have mentioned, she needs to check with her OB. I just spoke to mine about our plans and he told me that he would not approve me traveling to FL in my third trimester. Like others have mentioned many airlines require a dr's note.
