Roller Coasters & Pregnancy: Safety & Considerations

Question
Hello,
I am 8 months pregnant, have no other children and am 19 years old.

I have had a trip planned to an ammusment park for sometime now and am wondering if it is ok to go on a roller coaster or other amusement rides. My obgyn said it was ok but i need more advice. I dont want to harm the baby just because I want to have a little fun. HELP!

thanks corri johnson

Answer
You can go on any ride you want, as long as you use common sense.Remember that your balance is not what it used to be and you can easily fall out of a roller coaster if you are not careful. Try to avoid any rides that will cause any bumping to you or the baby. Avoid anyting where you can lose your balance. If you get tired, stop and rest. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day, and urinate often.
