Pike's Peak?

Has anyone ever driven/taken the cog up while pregnant?  DH and I used to live in Co Springs, but now live in Ohio.  We're taking a vacation back to the springs and really want to take the cog up the mountain.  I've been up before without any issues, but I know it can be different for a pregnant woman.  I'll only be about 12 weeks at that point.  I've been given some conflicting advice.  I just want to make sure it's safe for the baby.  Anyone have any experience/advice?  Thanks so much!!

    I went up when I was about 4 months pregnant and didn't have any issues.  Have fun!

    I asked my doctor if it would be okay to ride up the highway with friends visiting from out of town when I was just 8 weeks along and she responded with an emphatic "NOOO!"  The lack of oxygen can cause you to get light headed, dizzy, and even pass out.  I was super bummed, but being that high means baby is getting even less oxygen so I decided to avoid it.  She also told me to stay under 7,000 feet for hiking which is a bit hard around here and I've gone a little over, but only by about 200 feet.

    Went to pikes peak when I was like 6 weeks pregnant. I got a little light headed so I stayed in the car the whole time. My doctor said it's safe if you make a small trip and not spend more then two days that high in elevation. My house is at 7,000 feet.
