Pregnant at Disneyland Paris

Hi everyone just a quick one, I have recently found out I am pregnant, very early stages about 5 weeks and I go to Disneyland Paris in a few weeks with my best friend.
I've read mixed reviews online on rides that are suitable for pregnant ladies and experiences with pink passes (unfortunately I can't get an appointment with the mid wife until I return so I am unable to arrive with a Drs note to confirm my pregnancy so I won't think I will be eligible for one) but I just wanted some more experiences of other dibbers who have visited the parks pregnant.
Did you go on any rides? Were the staff helpful, (I have a problem with fainting ATM when I get too hot so I'm nervous about standing around for long periods of time)
Thanks everyone
Laura xxx

My SIL went to DLP at 7 weeks pregnant. She couldn't get any pass as the Dr would not confirm the pregnancy that early to provide a note.

She went on all the rides that her 3 year could do (IASW, Peter Pan, Casey Jr, Buzz etc...) and had no issues at all.

I went at about ten weeks.

I didn't do the big rides (space mountain etc) obviously, but I only had the tiniest start of a bump, so I did go on pretty much everything else. For rides with lapbars I put my bag on my knee in front of my tummy to give a bit of a buffer.

I did get a pass but didn't actually use it for anything. The CM who gave it to me told me I couldn't use it for the parade/fireworks reserved areas so we only did those once, and just found the best spot we could about five minutes before the start. The very beginning of the parade route was good for that. If you stand on the it's a small world ramp you'd have a fence to lean on too.

Generally I found that Disney restricts what you can go on so much, that the only rides I would have been 'allowed' to go on, would be the ones where I didn't really need to use the pass because the queues were bearable.

I did find that I had to have an afternoon nap though. We did EMH, exited after lunch and went back at teatime.

Brilliant thank you both ! I have heard rides like ratatouille that are so smooth are only not suitable for pregnant ladies because of the lap bars and bumps, I won't have that problem when o go so I should be ok on the small 'baby' rides with lap bars ! Xxx

Yep I went at 6 weeks and didn't have a pass. Went on all but the coasters. On rides with lap bars I also held a bag in front or just didn't let it pull down fully. Baby is so tiny and well cushioned in there that it is pretty safe!
Congratulations!
