Theme Park Safety During Pregnancy: Roller Coasters & More

Question
I just found out that I'm 6 weeks pregnant and already have plans to go to a theme park.  Is riding roller coasters safe?

Answer
Roller coasters are not advisable during pregnancy. Nor are any of the extreme water slides.

These types of activities can place high "G" forces on the body as well as extreme high frequency jostling. Most rides at theme parks will post restrictions for pregnant women.

But you can still have fun at a theme park on the more gentle activities.
