swimming? amusement parks?

[annikins95]

I was wondering if I was able to swim during pregnancy? And what of amusement parks? My family goes every year. I know I shouldn't go if I'm high risk or anything but my aunt was pregnant with her children and still went on quite a few rides til about a month and a half before her due date. I know nothing crazy or dangerous but I am just wondering so don't be hard on me

Are u crazy?? Hahaha nooo waaay dont get on amusement park rides. Dont risk the health of yoir baby the signs say no pregnant women for a reason

They won't let you get on if they can see that you're obviously pregnant. My bf and I went to a water park for our anniversary when we first found out I was prego, not knowing that thee slides were a risk. Even the lazy river and wave pool said not to get in if you are pregnant. Those are gentle to me though and I know my limits, I was still in the first trimester. Pouts had my baby and she is perfectly fine. Just use your judgement, but roller coasters I definitely would not get on.

I would do it. I wouldnt go on anything that i know wouldnt be okay, but there are always some rides that aren't that bad. I went on a crazy monster truck ride last week, & Im 5 months. Pregnant women use to ride on carriages for days on end back in the old days.Nowadays, we see everything as a risk. Driving a car is even a risk. Do what you feel is safe or not.

^^ agreed .. in plus most rides if not all have a sign saying people with do and so health issues or pregnant woman arent allowed to ride.

Swimming is ok & it's a definite NO to any type of ride or roller coaster while pregnant. So many things could go wrong. If your aunt's baby was healthy she got lucky. Why risk it?
