Flight of Passage - 7 weeks pregnant - to ride or not!?

[scoobydooby]

If you’ve got pregnancy nausea I’d steer well clear. At 7 weeks the restraint won’t be an issue. If they advise not to ride it for other reasons you’d need to seek advice.

I know there is an advisory for expectant mothers not to ride this one, but there is a world of difference between 7 weeks and 9 months, so just wondered what those who have ridden it think? I've watched a video online but it's hard to tell just how bumpy it is! Don't want to do anything silly, but also don't want to skip it for no good reason! Not bothered about any of the other rides with advisories, just this one!
Thanks everyone

Not bothered? Why?

Congratulations on your good news and being just 5 weeks pregnant just now, you are ahead of the game from where we were!
We only found out on returning from a Florida holiday, in which we had done every Ride at WDW and Universal, then enjoyed an upgrade on the way home with free drinks and then shared our news when we got home.
That was Jan 2003 and eldest son born in August. He does however have no fear about any rollercoaster or park ride

Flight of Passage is a simulator and does not involve turning you upside down. Possibly best described as a visual impression of movement.

I would say as a mum that it’s your responsibility to make the decisions for yourself and your unborn baby. If there’s an advisory not to ride then it’s there for a reason. It’s hard to miss out on this but this is the beginning of a long period of time where your needs will be last 😂.

We took our 20 month old to the zoo a few months ago and there was a dumbo style ride, it said don’t ride if pregnant so I didn’t. Harmless ride but again, advisory said not to.

You will get thrown about more in the aircraft if you get hit some bad air turbulence, it's a gentle ride IMHO

[mushumadness]

no you dont ride any of the ones that say you cant when your pregnant
ride it another time

This seems to be the first and last post by the OP - so I suspect our advice was wasted :-(

Congratulations.

It's up to you but think about the travel insurance implications if there is a problem.

Would be great to get some kinda response from OP on things like this. Loads of advice and opinion and no idea if we're all typing into thin air?

For what it's worth, FOP doesn't move. There is no motion at all. It's all on screens so not much chance of injury etc. Might not be great for motion sickness but as morning sickness is not the same you'd probably be fine.

As others have said...probably more turbulence on the flight to Orlando.

Good luck
