amusement parks and pregnancy

[Sliga]

ok so this is the deal this saturday 12th my bf and I are going to bush gardens for a weekend out!  now here's the problem we are not trying for a baby at the time but neither doing such a good job avoiding it =/  and Im afraid if I end up being pregnant going on all those rides would be bad. I've gathered info online about it...some say it's ok at early stages there's low risk and others avoid it at all...there's no way to tell if I am or not ( I don't feel like I am at all!). my last period was the 26th of july, me and my bf had unprotected sex till the 4th (never came inside so at least less of chance) but I guess I could have been fertile those days? according to online sites my ovulation date was supposed to be today the 7th...I have planned already take a hpt (early response) before going just to see if anything comes up!...I can't say no to not going, we need this weekend out =/  and the reason we go here is we both love going on rides...Im just twisted up in thoughts! I might not be pregnanct at all but there's always that chance and it scares me.. I just don't think I am because everytime I trhink I am with good reasons Im just not! not even sure if I was fertile those days...and I can't say no to the rides when we get there! oh boy will he get mad at me " going to bush gardens and not get on rides!" ...part of me say don't worry there's no way you are but what if I am? =(

I was so naive with my first pregnancy. My husband and I were having problems and I NEVER thought for a second I was pregnant. I went to six flags and had a blast... I went to a sketchy place and got a tattoo and some piercings... I'm telling you...... everything to show the world that I was tough  and pissed off. Well the drive home was a BEAR. I was sooooooooooo sick. Couldnt for the life of me figure out WHY. My friend had been nagging me for like 2 weeks saying I was pregnant because I was havign cramps but my period hadnt started (I was under stress I didnt even remmeber when it was due! and NO I wasnt a teenager)... so I took a test... it was +++ before I layed it on the sink. I was already like 6 weeks along.

I was scared but it worked out.

Would I ride rides or drink or get tattoos KNOWING I was pregnant? NO WAY. There are risks.... but it sounds like you are just now ovulating and hes been pulling out (which isnt a good method of bc but better than nothing) so no stressing it out! Have a great time!!

wow you did so much more! well good everything worked out for you and your baby was just fine =) ya I've decided not to worry about it...last month like I commented before I had more reason to worry with the condom breaking but my period came! with shorter days than usual but it came!...this time I just worried more because we were more lose...we've never than this unprotected sex more than once a month =( (and always around my period less risk) but this tims it was around it and so after it and for more days....was I even fertile those days? till the 4th? I don't know! I just won't worry about it...! Im so excited we both needed this weekend out! everything has been working and studying! a little break will be nice...thank you all again!

thank you to both of you for your replies..! I guess I was over stressing too...I did think about what the last post said that the baby wouldn't even really be there....well online said my ovulation date was the 7th ( today) but said I was supposed to be fertile since the 4th and lasted only till the 9th...the other page I visited said fertile days since the 1st and lasted till the 6th! ...so I didn't know =/  I guess Im just gopnna stop worrying about it...and have my good weekend! ...last month I had more reasons to be afraid the condom broke( Im just cursed lol just kidding!) it happened like 6 days before my period and it did come so ! phew! anyways...thank you again for the answers !

Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I read youre not even fertile until today? That's not going to show on a pregnancy test until the end of this month. There is NO way it would show up before you go on a ride this weekend so save your money, or test if you already have it! I've been pregnant this is my 4th, and have been through tons of pregnancy tests and know when to test! lol. Also, just avoid it this month. Wear a condom for the next few days. Another thing is the baby wouldn't even be in your uterus by this weekend if you did conceive. It takes a good full week, 7 days for that baby to travlke down the tubes and implant in the uterus, so it wouldn't even be putting of HCG the pregnancy hormone or anything yet. My opinion, you will be just fine to go this weekend and have fun and enjoy yourselves! Have a great weekend! :)

Well before I knew that I was pregnant I went to six flags and rode every ride there and it did not effect me at all. But I am not recommending that you also do that same because if I knew before I went I would not of rode the rides that I did because you are putting yourself and the baby at risk. I would take the preg. test and go from there with your own instincts. I believe that in the early stages are when you need to be carefull because there is not that much cushion for the baby yet and things can happen. But that would be your call on what you think would be wise on yourself and possible baby.
