Pregnant at DL

[RuthieT]

We are planning a trip in October and I will be about 7 months PG. We had this time planned before even finding out that we were pregnant and don't want to take that away from our DD that will be 5.5 years old in October. Who has traveled to DL during this time in there pregnancy? Could you fly? How did you handle the walking, the heat? Do you do any type of rides?

I was about 7 months pregnant with my second daughter when we went in Sept of 2006. I rode all of the rides with the exception of all of the mountains, Indy and everything else with a height restriction. We didn't fly, we drove, so I can't help with that. Takes lots of water and lots of breaks.

We just went the 1st week of May when I was about 7 months pregnant (29 weeks). We spent 3 days in the parks and it was wonderful! It was in the 90s and the heat was tough but I don't think you'll have that problem in Oct. The walking was do-able I did drink lots of water, take several breaks and did 2 sit down meals per day. The middle day I went back to the hotel for a 2 hr. break and changed my shoes and that helped a lot.

I was able to ride everthing my 3 yr. old rode (she is not into Matterhorn, Splash, etc yet) but Pirates, HM, all of Fantasyland (besides Matterhorn) I was able to do, just be careful when they pull down the bars, lol!

It was a great trip and totally worth it to spend the time w/ my 2 girls! You'll have a great time!

*Oh I just saw you asked about flying, we flew from San Antonio so it was about a 3 1/2 hour flight. I did fine on the way out, but on the way back my legs and feet did swell quite a bit. Be sure to get up and walk around every hour or so and drink lots of water. I elevated my feet as soon as we got home and I was fine the next day.
