Disney in 2nd Trimester

[Going Broke]

Okay, those of you that have tried Disney in your 2nd trimester, what advice would you offer as far as rides, breaks, etc. I am completely addicted to Disney, we go yearly, and as hard as I tried I could not plan a pregnancy around our disney trips. And yes, I know, this sounds ridiculous but I would really appreciate any advice!

I went last April when I was 5.5 months pregnant and I was fine. I was most comfortable in flip-flops. Sneakers were too hot and my feet did more swelling. I kept the pace slow so I didn't really get too tired and made sure I drank lots of water and then had the restrooms mapped out pretty well!! I rode the safari ride even though it is advised that prego women don't ride it. I was fine. I asked the CM if I could ride in front. It's less bumpy there and believe me my local streets are way more bumpy!!!!

I think the 2nd tri is the best time to go, not going thru morning sickness and not so big as you are miserable. I had lots of energy and DH kept reminding me to take it easy! To me that meant SNACK BREAK!!!!!!

Enjoy your last trip before baby!!!!!!

I agree I was their for my second daughters preg. and It was no problem. Do what you can take breaks when needed just like any other trips. The only rides I didnt do were roller coaster and simulators. Basically anything I wouldn't take a one year old on I didnt go on.

Only problem I had was looking at the menues I CRAVED EVERYTHING!!!!

I went during my 2nd trimester with my daughter and will be going during my 2nd trimester with this baby too (in 2 weeks!!). Honestly, the only thing that was rough for me was that my feet were killing me by the end of the day and I was exhausted. Normally we were the type of people who got up to be at the parks for EMH and stayed out till park closing, but when I was pregnant I simply couldn't get up that early and we were home much earlier in the evening. Overall though, it was a great trip.

I went to WDW when I was 26 weeks along. I did have to sit out a few rides that were not recommended for pregnant woman but I didn’t mind at all. I wasn't going to chance anything. I would just find a nice area to sit and wait for my DH and DD to come out after the rides. That was my resting time. We did not rush around. We took it easy that trip.

Make sure you drink plenty of water, have a good pair of shoes to walk in and rest when you can. We did take a day during the week to enjoy hanging out at the hotel pool.

I came back from that trip relaxed. Unlike our previous trip where I needed another vacation.

Congratulations with your baby. Have a great time on your trip.

I went at 31 weeks and besides resting more did great!! It was probably the most relaxing WDW vacation I have ever been on! I did drink lots of water (1st week of September) and my feet were swollen by the end of the day - but it was wonderful. I did skip all the rides that said pregnant women should not ride except the Safari. But I didn't really feel like I was missing a thing.
