    As I gaze down at my sleeping 2 year old I can tell you that I would never, not for all the money in the world, risk my unborn children's lives for a couple moments of a thrill. The signs at the park all say do not ride if pregnant. Don't do it.

    Nope - not safe. How would they get a lap bar to fit on you properly? I'd not be wanting to go into labor at a fun park anyhow. Unlike some of the others, I understand you are full term - over actually.

    Call your dr and ask them to induce you. That or you can try having lots of sex (it is thought that ejaculate has a chemical in it that thins out your cervix when you are near full term). Also try nipple stimulation. Or you can just wait. =)

    Good luck - and enjoy that baby when it gets here!

    theres usually a sign before u get on the ride for pregnant women NOT to ride, but my sister in law was 3 months pregnant and went on space mountain, shes stupid but nothing happened to the baby she 3 now and very healthy!

    It might damage the baby, so I don't think I would risk that. God will put you in labor when it's time. I was 2 weeks late for both of my children.

    They won't let you on the ride. You wouldn't be able to get the lapbar into place, and it could seriously hurt both you and the baby.

    No. Most rides like that will have a notice regarding this.

    NO. It can put you into premature labor.

    Bad Idea. The G-forces you would be subjecting the baby to could kill it.

    umm no, that is why they have those huge signs that say pregnant women must not ride this ride....the baby will come out when she/he is ready
