Fair & Pregnancy: Is It Safe to Attend?

Question
OK im 15 and ill be 8 months pregnant next week...where i live there is gonna be a fair and there will be some rides not like roller coasters they r much calmer than that but i wanna go really bad but everyone is telling me that it will hurt the baby! Should i go and have fun or would i be better off just to stay at home?

Answer
You can certainly go to the fair. However, try to avoid roller coasters or any rides where you could lose your balance or be hit by another object(bumper cars, etc).The baby is well protected in the uterus surrounded by amniotic fluid, so it will not be hurt. However, don't take any risks.
