Anyone pregnant when they went to DW?

[Angel_Seel]

I will be about 5 months when we go in June. I would still like to do some rides and have a good time with our DS-4 and DD-2. Any suggestions would be great

I was 3 months pregnant for our trip in August, 2006 - my Dr. said it was fine but to ALWAYS have a bottle of water and keep drinking. Of course then I had to "go" every couple of minutes!

Seriously use good common sense, drink a lot of fluids, take breaks from walking and enjoy! Most of the rides have warnings but if you just avoid the thrill rides you will be fine - I do remember the smell of the flowers in Epcot made me feel nasuas but nothing you can really do about that!

Oh and bring flip flops - I had a water retention problem and my feet got "puffy". The flip flops were more comfortable.

Plan a hotel day also to relax!
Enjoy your trip and congratulations!

We went with a friend who was 4 months pregnant. She would go on any ride your 4 year old would go on. I think I would be careful past that - ask your doctor.. I should add - this is my friend who went horse back riding when she was 5 months pregnant. She tends to do more than I would - all 3 of her babies have been fine. I am sure you would be fine going on any ride your 2 year old can ride (as long as you feel up to it).

Congratulations!

I have been to WDW pregnant a few times, and always had a great time!
You can ride anything that doesn't have a height restriction.
Drink more water than you think you should..lol. Take some time just to rest and put your feet up. Take it easy and then drink more water
I would suggest a good pair of sneakers..or if you are like me and live in Flip Flops..Teva Mush or Crocs FF are the way to go!!

Thats funny b/c I just went a month ago with my 2 and 4 y.o.'s AND I was 5 months prego! There were rides my 4 y.o. wanted to do that I didn't go on like Splash Mountain...I did go on Goofy's barnstormer, the racecars and most everything else she wanted to do.... Everything was great just make sure you have stroller and drink plenty of water! Have fun!

I've been a couple of times while being pregnant. I always talked to my doc first who said I could do anything I felt up to doing. I used common sense and didn't push myself too much. I did ride Splash Mountain, but avoided the safari and space mountain...too jerky. DH also found me sitting in the shade with a nice cool bottle of water on a regular basis!

We have annual passes and I've done Dis in every month/stage of my pregnancies, even the 9th month!

5 months is a relatively easy time to be prego at Dis, for me anyway. It's just the heat you need to worry about. Stay hydrated!!!!!!!!!!!!! I get heat sickness really easy and even easier while pregnant, so wearing a hat or keeping an umbrella with you to keep the sun off will help that.
Stop and rest if you're tired. Even taking a break, going back to the hotel for a nap or cold shower is good. Then go back to the parks.

Have a super time!!

I went in July at 24 weeks pregnant. It was 96 degrees! I found that drinking lots of water helped, and we also went back to the room to rest in the afternoon when the temperatures were the worst. I didn't ride thrill rides, but the train ride was always a welcome relief when I needed to get off my feet! Longer air-conditioned attractions like Small World and Philharmagic are great when you are tired and hot as well.

Have a wonderful time!

I went when I was 23 weeks pregnant and had a fantastic time. Like the PP, I took breaks in the afternoon just to get some cool air and put my feet up for a bit. I took that trip with just my Mom so she was fine with taking a slower pace. This time around I will be 31 weeks pregnant but I know it will be a blast. Just drink a lot of water and really listen to your body. If you get tired, pop into an air conditioned store or take a quick snooze in the Hall of Presidents.

Good luck - you will have a wonderful trip!

I was pregnant on our honeymoon at WDW
It was in February so the heat wasn't a problem & there are still lots of things you can ride! Your kiddies are little so you can probably ride everything that they can! Have a great time! & Stay hydrated!

I was four months when we went in January and it was fun. I did get a little sad that I couldn't ride Expedition Everest but there were so many other 'kid-friendly' rides that I didn't care. Here's what I rode

Buzz LIghtyear
Dumbo
Snow White (well it was closed but I would have ridden it)
Haunted Mansion
jungle cruise
Like all the kid stuff in Magic Kingdom

Epcot
Nemo
Figment

Hollywood
Backlot Tour

Animal Kingdom
I rode Kiliminjaro and some people say not to so that 's up to you
we went on the train to safari place

And that's all I can think of since my brain refuses to work...

Hope this helps. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of sleep. And eat often...that was a big one for me.

When you enter each park make sure to get a map of attractions. Where it lists each area and all the rides in that area, they use a symbol guide and at once quick glance you can see all the rides that have a physical contraint warning. Those are the ones I avoided. Also, at the entrance for each ride it'll say if they don't suggest pregnant women to go on. I didn't go on any roller coasters or anything with drops (except for POTC, I didn't realize there was a small drop there. I didn't go back on it a 2nd time, but I'm overly cautious in general). I asked my dr. in advance if I could go on the safari ride (because I read on here probably not a good idea) and she said yes, expectant mothers shouldn't go on but at an early stage it's fine (I was 3 months at the time), I went on it 2x and felt fine on it.
