Pregnant at Universal

[KandD]

Are there any rides that are okay to go on at Universal and IOA while pregnant? I'm thinking if there aren't a lot if options maybe I'll have a pool day instead of going to the parks.
TIA!

I visited Universal when I was 14 weeks pregnant and noticed that nearly every attraction says not for expectant mothers (even walking attractions such as Twister). Luckily, I'm pretty familiar with the attractions so I was able to make my own decisions about what I should/should not do. If you're not familiar with the attractions, then you'll probably feel like you shouldn't do anything based on their signs.

go to www.universalorlando.com and check out what the rides are about.
it will help you make decisions on which rides you can do.

I came over to Florida at 31 weeks pregnant. I got on fine at Disney but universal was a different story all together! wwohp, forget it! all rides are off limits, we were there opening week so the shops were a 2 hour queue to get in so I didn't see those either! no water rides at all, no coasters, no simulators. the person on et wouldn't let me ride even when I knew I could. I'm struggling to think what I DID ride.... I did one fish, two fish. the carousel and the cars in the sky ride thing. I did a non moving seat on shrek but the view was blurry so I spent my time watching others! my baby hated terminator, I think the sound track was too loud. I honestly can't remember riding anything else in the two parks. no jaws, Simpson's, mummy, nothing! I had a great time on the water cannons spraying the riders on ripsaw falls and Popeye, I was chief photo taker too! I think I'm owed a child free trip to universal to make up for it!

Thanks for the replies. I'm thinking this trip is going to be a bust for me!!

What about Men in black or the Popeye water ride? I can't remember if Popeye has a drop.

I would think no to both.... Esp Bluto's Barges... Bouncing around on the water...

It sucks if you're pregnant. I went at 2 months and again when I was about 9. You can't even go on the ET ride. I don't think there are any pregnancy friendly rides.

I was only 2 months pregnant back in 7/2011 and only did tour of Hogwarts, Olivanders, ate at 3 broomsticks, took lots of pics then watch horror show. We left by 3pm

Disney and Seaworld still have plenty of things for pregnant women to do. Universal doesn't really have anything, except for a couple of shows.

We bought our annual passes right before we found out I was pregnant, or else I wouldn't have bothered to go. But it will be nice to take the baby there in a few weeks.
