Going to DL on Saturday with a friend who hasn't been in 15 years!! I've been reading around on the internet, and I have seen some conflicting info, so curious what MWers think- Splash Mtn while 18 wks pregnant- ok or no?
I wouldn't, but that's me. Been pregnant three times and never once wanted to risk riding it. I know some who have though. - Krissy Marissy

I would err on the side of caution- no. I would hate to risk something as precious as that on a ride! - Boundin

She told me not to do anything jostle-y, but I can't remember if it's a rough ride or not, I haven't been on it since before the refurb - TickledTink

I'm only 17 but mom had 3 kids after me... Id say don't risk it. Havn't riden since they redid the ride, but I know that last drop used to be pretty rough, even more so if she isn't used to it so she doesn't know the best way to brace herself. The ride will still be around after the baby is born :) - LadyLixxy

I second what Boundin said. - DisneyGirl72

While i was prego and went to Disneyland, I only rode the rides/attractions that didn't have height requirements. I figured if a baby can't ride it then a prego shouldn't either. But that's just me and everyone is different - brodysmommy

Does anyone know if TLM would be ok in this situation.

Better to be on the safe side, is my thoughts - smilinbeckett

My mom rode the Matterhorn 9 months pregnant with me... But she's also nuts... Lol (and it was 1965) I've had 3 and I would go with all the no's. Have fun - SueBayou

The Little Mermaid should be fine. I just took my one-year-old son on it and I've seen plenty of people bring their infants. Also, my wife is 7-mo pregnant and she was fine with the ride. - MickeyMax

I say no....but then again I am not a doctor - MiriamP
152.7 #2251 9:46PM
Would not ride. Just to be on the safe side . - MWchild
19.6 #5094 9:48PM
On TLM are there any drops or Sharp turns? Why would this not be safe?
- Buzz805

TLM is a family dark ride. Like Mansion. You ride doom buggies. - swingingwake

I rode SM when my sister was pregnant and was glad she didn't ride it. It was bumpier than I had remembered. Hope it helps! - Katya75

Call your Dr. ;) that's the best advice! - TandAlly

I am a Labor and Delivery nurse and worked with high risk OB patients for a few years. The problem with getting on a bumpy ride is that it can't be guaranteed that nothing will happen. There are a few things that can go wrong... Preterm labor, bleeding, rupture of membranes and placental abruption. I could spend a whole hour explaining in laymen terms but I will only explain the latter. The placenta can abrupt (tear away from the uterus) in a small area or in the worse case scenario, completely. If it tears in a small area, it will cause bleeding and could cause contractions. It can complicate the pregnancy and force the woman to be on strict preterm labor precautions (anything from hospitalization, strict bedrest, no sex for the remainder of the pregnancy, etc). It can even cause preterm delivery, which at 18 weeks, the baby will not survive cause its simply not viable, the lungs are only buds, baby would not even survive the labor due to its extremely fragile skin. If the placenta tears completely, which is probably a very slim risk (but not completely guaranteed it won't happen), both mother and baby would not survive. Don't take a chance. - PirateJedsMommy

that's very good info! I am 29 weeks and just got back from the parks. Didn't chance any crazy rides but I never knew exactly what the risks were thanks! - TragicKingdom

I'm just curious, I know pregnant ladies can ride little rides, snow white etc... but doesn't the lap bar hit the tummy? - SillyBelle

I wouldn't risk it - Splashmountgirl

I rode Indy at 6 months and my boy is fine. Now that I'm preg with #4 we will see which rides I go on. As of right now I still do everything. (I'm only 6 weeks along) - Arielkitten13

I wouldn't risk it. I've been regnant the last 3 times we've been to DL and I can't wait to be able to ride again! - anirahc

For the safety of the baby and you I would not recommend getting on. The ride will be there after your baby is born for you to enjoy but it is not worth the complications that may occur. You do not want that lil angel coming before the due date. - thestalkerNIN

Do not ride unless your doctor says it's okay. - Spoonful_O_Sugar
436.1 #285 7:35AM
Your body, Your baby, Your decision. I wouldn't personally cus i'm paranoid. - Knik

Last summer I just rode everything without a height restriction. The lap bars were fine and never bothered me until late july when I was 8 1/2 months and getting big lol drink lots of water and just enjoy the day :-) - Krissy Marissy

I wouldn't risk it, #justsayin... =) - d!sn3yphan
309.2 #565 8:16AM
It says right on the sign "Do not ride if pregnant" I'm surprised so many do anyways with all the possible risks. Stick to attractions with no height requirement. - Nicole
