Hot Air Balloon Rides?

in 3rd Trimester
I just got a call from our local PBS station, and was told that my family won the hot air balloon ride with some of the kids characters this Sunday at Conner Prarie. I am super excited for my munchkins and excited to get to go as well. Then I thought, can I do that at 35 weeks? Granted it is a tethered at like 350 feet up but I didn't know if that has anything to do with anything really. I will call my OB in the morning to check for sure, but has anyone out there ever done this?

    I'm sure it will be fine ... it's not like they're traveling super fast! What a cool experience!

    I did a hot air balloon ride while early pregnant with my first. It is possible for the landing to be a little rough and I needed help in and out without a belly (mine was small and the basket didn't have a door), but the ride itself is awesome and smooth. I would do it again, even in my third trimester....as long as my doc said ok for me.

    I Googled the situation and never came up with a real, actual explanation why pregnant women aren?t allowed to take rides, but I did come up with about 16,000 ballooning websites that Strictly Prohibited Pregnant Passengers.
