Rollercoaster while pregnant?

That just seems stupid to me. Especially at 13ish weeks. Maybe it's just me, but from the moment I found out I was pregnant I have been doing everything in my power to protect this little guy

Re: Rollercoaster while pregnant?
Who put hot dog in bold? Because if that's being really reckless by eating a hot dog, then I've been super bad.
But yes, rollercoaster doesn't seem like the smartest thing.
Since its such an old coaster, its probably one that doesnt have loops or anything like that. I dont know, depends on the kind of coaster it is really for me, I wouldnt at this point of my pregnancy, but before we found out we got pregnant we had gone to a few parks and road some coasters. Eh. and hotdogs, thats not being a daredevil.
I just c&p her post. She is the one that did all of the bolding in the post.
I've eaten plenty of hotdogs. I was talking about the rollercoaster.
I asked my OB about riding rollercoasters b/c DH and I were thinking about going to six flags in June. ?The OB's response was that its sort of like a car ride - that sudden jerks and stops can cause placental abruptions and tears. ?Thats why amusement parks are so strict about it - they don't want to get sued in those cases. ?I decided not to go, because why risk it. ?I just don't?understand?the people who feel the need to brag about breaking pregnancy "rules." ??
I think it depends on who you are riding with...haha! FIL is the jerkiest driver in the world.
What a moron.
But what really blows me away is that according to her sig, she had TTC, yet is still bragging about breaking the rules. You'd think that someone that went through the heartache of having fertility problems would do everything in their power to protect their child, particularly during the first trimester. Now an occasional hot dog or turkey sandwich is one thing, but a friggin' roller coaster? Did the giant picture of a pregnant woman with a red X on it not tip her off?
*popping over from 2nd tri, it's a slow day*
I had a dream last night about riding a roller coaster and I felt bad about it. I can't even imagine purposefully getting on one and putting your child through that risk. And then to post about it like she was proud if it! I will never understand some people.
oh, and the hot dogs are no big deal.
wow... Yeah, she'll make a super mom if she's so excited about "breaking the rules!"
It's one thing to eat a hot dog or lunch meat or have a pop/venti latte/etc, etc. ... but the roller coaster one is too much for me. Why would you risk it? Would you throw yourself face-first down a flight of stairs? Would you chug a bottle of tequila? ??? These things all fall in to the category of "things you just don't do while pregnant... unless you just don't care at all." Things like caffeine and lunch meat... those are more of the "things you should cut back on, if needed" category.
