I am in my second trimester and we will be going to lake compounce and six flags. Can anyone tell me what rides I can go on?|||Any rides that a pregnant woman CANNOT ride will have a warning before getting on. There are rides that you would be able to go on, but they are typically only rides young children can go on - boat rides, carousel, stuff like that. If there is a height restriction, chances are there is also a pregnancy restriction.|||Do you mean your second trimester of pregnancy? It sounds as if you do mean that, so I will answer your question that way. (Sorry if I misunderstood)
My brother once told me that he was in Coney Island about to board a rather rigorous ride and there was a sign posted by the entrance gate saying that certain kinds of people ought not try the particular ride and those were, 1) pregnant women 2)people with psychological illnesses 3) people with physical handicaps and disabilities 4) intoxicated people 5) people who have severe back or neck problems etc.
There used to be a certain ride at the Empire State Building (approximately in the 1990s) that was not so rigorous, but it would have riders looking at a large screen in a darkroom and the screen had the rider pretend that he or she is traveling through the air and through the buildings in New York and the seat that the rider was sitting on would move and turn and shake. Nevertheless pregnant women were warned not to try the ride and it was not said as to whether it means only the latest stages of pregnancy or any stage of pregnancy.

Probably, to avoid any legal liability the people whom run or own any amusement park or any amusement ride anywhwere, would not want a female at any stage of pregnancy to try any ride, even the "gentle" ones. Furthermore probably no doctor would recommend that a pregnant woman at any stage of her pregnancy try any amusement park rides.
In practicality, you probably would not suffer any harm if you rode the carousel, or ferris wheel some very slow ride that does not literally have you hitting the walls or being violently hurled about, but even those would not be recommended by medical professionals.
(In a way it sounds discriminatory against pregnant women ( and people with handicaps)).

Edit:
The answer by "drip" sounds logical , but also it assumes that the person whom asked the question has her own doctor.
Not every one does.
The best answer even by someone whom is not an official medical professional is to be safe and wait until the end of your pregnancy to do anything really physical and rugged.|||You should ask your doctor, not Yahoo
