Talk to your doctor. Take it easy in the sun, drink lot of water; and perhaps avoid the rougher rides.

My wife visited WDW in late June 2002 when she was 4.5 months pregnant, and we just took it easy.

Congrat!
Just remember to take it easy.
Stay hydrated while at the parks in the hot sun.
Pace yourself...don't try to do too much.
I would recommend a daily rest or nap at the resort! :wave:

First of all Congrats!!!

We went during my first trimester back in 2001. I had all-day morning sickness issues so it was important for me to take it easy in the morning and make sure that I ate a little bit throughout the day. I'm pretty sure I skipped all of the rides that had warnings, but talk to your dr. Definitely take it easy.

I also went at 6/7 mos with my second child. Soarin' gave me a very uncomfortable feeling. Also, because I felt great I over did it. Your body can strain in ways you don't expect.

Enjoy this trip doing things that maybe won't be so easy with a little one. Lounging by the pool comes to mind....

water water water and take breaks, even just sitting on a bench for 10 mns will help

if rides have height restrictions you may want to pass on them

I agree with coltow! Lots of water, rest breaks, don't forget lots of protein for energy, and healthy food for the baby! Congrats and have a great time

Congratulations!!!!
As everyone has said drink plenty, rest, & have fun.
Don't over do it. You have been there/done that before so "let your body be your guide" :wave:

Congratulations! I would suggest starting a family photo tradition. Find a place on property that is meaningful to you. Have someone take a picture of you and hubby, and baby bump, in front of it. Then each time you return take a picture in the same location.

We do this. The bridge to Liberty Square, with Castle in the background is our spot. I keep them in frames in my living room. My kids think it's funny to see them "little"

No teacups and be careful on Mission Space

I was a little over one month pregnant in 2009 when we went and I rode the teacups at MK (dizzy for the next hour afterward) and Mission Space at Epcot (non-motion side) and was queasy afterwards.

So take it easy on the motion rides and as they say, drink lots of water.

PS-My daughter loves being swung around in my arms so my husband says it is because I rode all those rides pregnant with her that she loves the little thrill :wave:-Maybe yours will be like that too....

Firstly, Congratulations!!!! If you don't have to fly (some OB/GYNs frown upon flying when pregnant) and you dont expect to go on Crushin' Gusher, Space Mountain, or any thrill rides, you'll be fine! Three things I did at Disney pregnant were (a) walk (b) eat (c) sleep like a log. Take it easy on yourself, and don't get discouraged if some of the smells make your stomach do a flip!! (That was the worse part for me) I did alot of swimming, walking etc., which my OB/GYN said was a good thing! I'd address your concerns with your doctor, to put you at ease. Again, congratulations!!!!!! :sohappy:

My parents took me in March when I was four, my mom was pregnant with my sister who was born in June, they wanted to do something fun with just me before she was born. My mom had fun, she actually road big thunder mountain railroad, but everything turned out great [: my sister is healthy no problems, so just enjoy the time with your husband!
