Congrats!
I went to WDW 8 weeks pregnant. My friend was 4 weeks (she actually found out the day they left for the airport.) Both 2nd pregnancies.
I saw my Doc a few days before we left and his advice for me was "you can ride anything you feel up too. The baby is extremly small and protected at this time the changes of a rollar coaster hurting it is very slim." Now remember this is MY doc talking about ME. I am not giving his advice to anyone else. (My Doc is a big WDW fan and knows all the rides.)
I rode Dinosaur, Mission Space, Safri ride at AK (as did my friend.) I think that is it. I didn't ride others because I just didn't feel up to it, or feel like waiting in the lines (I had a almost 3 year old also.)
However having said that, most miscarriages happen early. On the very unlikley possibility that something was to happen, and your wife rode chances are she would regreat it just wondering if it was the ride or not. Having said that, why take a unessary risk? (on major rides such at RRC and TT etc.....) The biggest issue I see riding Splash Montain pregnant was the way the seats were postioned. It as not comfortable to sit at that angle pregnant and the boats sometimes bump (front and back.) At very early stages of the pregnancy this would not be an issue.
Many people at that stage do not even know they are pregnant. They ride rides, do other things and things are fine. Of course there is chances that if they didn't know they were pregnant, they also didn't know the pregancy didn't continue.
Either way there is a lot to do at WDW besides the thrill rides. I have been a few times pregnant and never felt like I was missing out.
