Disney While Pregnant??

[Ryanne]

So I am planning a trip to Disney which will occur approx when I am 7 months pregnant. Is this a completely crazy idea or should I just wait and attempt the craziness of going with an infant??

I first thought it was totally doable but now I'm worried that it's not. I will be traveling with my husband an my daughter. It is both their first time there and I haven't been in 10+ years so we don't have any set expectations on what to see or do.

Also, my daughter is 2.5 so we are planning on returned to our resort every day around lunch time for napping, etc. also, we are staying for 5 nights with the intention of not doing park all day every day. We plan on doing some full days or some half days of just resort pool time, shopping, etc.

My mind set is that I should be able to handle what a 2 year old can. Cause obviously she naps, needs a full nights rest, eats 3 melas, can't get too hot, etc. But is this just wishful thinking?!?! I haven't been to Disney in forever so I not sure I am under estimating everything.

Also we are planning for early-mid Sept. Not sure how hot and humid it is then.

Any opinions, tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I went in Feb when I was pregnant 6 months along, it was fine and I was VERY high risk, I was on bed rest but I got a GAC I don't know how that works now with all the changes. I did walk but had to take a lot of breaks. Now I am going in Sept for 2 1.2 weeks and I will be 32 weeks along and I am leaving at 35 weeks exactly with my dd who will also be 2 1.2 you'll be fine go and have fun!

If you generally feel well when you're pregnant, I say go for it! I went in September when I was 5.5 months pregnant with my third, and it was great. Then again, I was lucky to have easy pregnancies. I saw people with babies and was so happy not to have to deal with spontaneous feelings and diaper changes. For me, it was definitely easier in than out.

You're right about being able to do pretty much the same things as your daughter. It was the same for me and my 3 yr old son when I was pregnant. The only things that come to mind are the safari (I felt comfortable going on it, so I did in spite of the warning) and the tea cups, which we rode, but didn't spin.

So, it definitely can be great, but you know your own body and how it reacts to pregnancy best.

I would say no but that is because neither of my pregnancies were similar in any instance. With my first son, I was sick for 4mo straight in the beginning and went two weeks past my due date, endingn with being induced due to toxemia and I was active during my pregnancy and my second son(9yrs later) I was fine and dandy up until the last two months when I was sick as a dog, hospitalized for dehydration and severe nausea and he ended up being 2wks early. Go figure right? Plus my first was 27hrs labor and my second was 2hrs. I would not want to be far away from home that far into a pregnancy but that is just me. Heck, my sister and I were pregnant at the same time with my older son and my older niece and at 5mo pregnant, we were on our nightly walk and her appendix ruptured. Into emergency surgery(complicated by the fact that her uterus was in the way) and then the day she was to be released our doctor told her that she was not going home unless someone was there to watch her 4yr old and 1yr old and she said "Darlene is living with me so she can take care of the boys" and our doctor said "I don't think so, I just admitted her and we are inducing tomorrow morning."
