rollercoasters

What is the rule on rollercoasters? I forgot to ask my Dr.today.  I am only 5w4d and definitely not showing yet.  Is it still ok to ride them until I have a bump? What about the coasters that don't go upside down? Or are they entirely unsafe altogether once you become pregnant?

I was 2 months pregnant with my DD when I went to six flags and I got on every ride in the park and there is nothing wrong with her and she is 5 years old. But I would not recommend it because I did it ask your dr to be safe. :-)

Thanks! I have a season pass and now that I'm  pregnant I realized I probably wouldn't be able to ride.  Definitely wouldn't risk it.  I just wasn't sure what the reasons were behind it.

there's a reason why it says on signs at theme parks pregnant women can't ride lol. obv they can't stop you if your not showing cos they wouldn't kno, but as someone else said, I've heard it can cause miscarriage and the placenta to detach. you can always ask your doctor but I deff wouldn't risk it. I've been dying to go to 6flags all summer but I can't. but the roller coasters willl be there in the next couple months and next season !

No definitely not!! I was told not even water slides. It can detach the placenta, specially early in the pregnancy!! I DEFINITELY would not do it, i know how you feel i had pans to go to a huge concert n theme park this year n had to cancel n sell my tickets. Concerts are usually okay, but i didn't want to risk it somewhere where alcohol is sold due to drunk people. But for the babys sake, don't do it. (:

I believe they don't really like you doing them at any point, but because it's not noticeable they wouldn't stop you.

Nooooooo. It can cause you to have a miscarriage. It ***** not being able to ride roller coasters, but it's for the safety of your baby.
