water rides and pregnancy

I'm between 5 and 7 weeks pregnant, our family plans were to spend most of our summer (my husband, 9 yr old and 13 yr old) at hurricane harbor (giant waterpark) will I still be able to ride most of the rides or will I be limited to just the pools and lazy river?

I would say no. I've heard some bad stories. I plan on going to a few water parks this summer too but am limiting myself to the wave pool and lazy river.it'll still be nice to get out of the house (: and definitely dont go on any original rides like swings, coasters, etc.

No, bad idea. I beleive me going down water slides helped kick-start my labor and i gave birth to my daughter at 32 weeks. So my best bet for you is to seat on the sidelines.

The reason roller coasters have warnings saying no pregnant women is because it can cause the placenta to separate from your uterus but your safe to do it up untill around 15 weeks

A lot of places are not going to let you ride if you're pregnant they wouldn't let me ride a ferris wheel pregnant with my son.
