pregnant and fair rides?

Okay ladies, I am 8 weeks and 2 days and I am going to the fair tonight with family. What would I be able to ride? I have a feeling that I won't be able to ride like the ring of fire. But what can I ride?

Most rides will say pregnant cannot ride I would just ask the operator if its okay for you before you get on can never be too safe :) the fair is here too and for the first tine I'm not going because I know I'll want to get on everything Lol maybe next year!

I was nearly 16 weeks when i went on roller coasters at a theme park, i dont normally do rides and didnt know i was pregnant!! When i found out 2 weeks later i was very concerned but the midwife assured me that if it had done any harm i would of misscarried. Take care x

You just have to really be careful about the speed of the ride too. Watching out for the bars pushing on  your belly is for sure important, and because you are only 8 weeks the baby does not have any inertia yet, but the jerking movements of rides can be dangerous for the baby. Stick with rides that are very slow and don't twist and turn! Enjoy being a big kid for the night!

I'm 16 weeks and last week I went to the fair.. I did the pirate ship that goes back and fourth and that was fine.. I just avoided any that pushed any bars onto my belly.. I did a spinning one but that made me kind of sick. .

Maybe the little rides would be ok cuz they are slow and not rocky.

Lol. I have a feeling that the Ferris wheel will make me sick. Well mutual niece and nephew are in the 2-6 age range. So I might just go with them on their rides. Would that be okay?

Pregnant are not supposed to ride any sort of fair/ amusement park ride. My guess is you would be safe with something like a Marry Go Round, but other than that I would not risk it. My Doctor told me to avoid all things ride related!
