| | | Uh.. I would think all the coasters couldnt be rode.
Most parks have signs next to rides that say what you can and cant ride if you pregnant and such.

| | | It's "reccommended" that you do not ride....but the park can not stop you from riding. It's your call my dear!

| | | Nothing at Dollywood seems to be rough or anything that would pose a danger, assuming you can still fit properly in the restraints. |

| | Theres signs on every ride that says that if you a pregnate that you shouldn't ride any of the rides, but i've never even seen anybody there that was pregnate. But eben though you still may not be able to ride the rides, DW has AWESOME shows. the new Dreamland Drive-in will take you back about 40 years into a time long forgoten, a time when you could still hang out with you friends at a local store and not be afraid of either being killed or any of that other stuff... :s. But Dreamland Drive-in is a great show because it is basically a strole down memory lane. But if you plan on going after the 17th (i think), the Kids Fest will be going on. Its Normally cram packed in that park, in the county fair is unreal! I'm 14, so i really dislike the Kids Fest because its one of those things meant for little kids, which i'm not saying is a bad thing, its a great thing actually, but still.....anyways, DW also has some great stores to shop in. I love the new candy/taffy/ice cream place! I'm like a kid in a candy store there....  lol...Hope to see you there!  |

| | | Let me put it to you this way ... My mom was on Space Mountain 2 weeks before I was born. I'm perfectly "normal". Maybe a little over-obsessed with the whole theme park / roller coaster thing, but medically, I'm fine. The rides have to put those warnings to cover their own butts. Of course, depending on how big you are, you might not fit in some of the restraints, and that's another story altogether. But at 14 weeks you probably aren't *THAT* big.
But yeah, it's up to you.

| |  Thanks much for the replies!
I think for safety's sake, I will most likely skip the rides, with the exception of the train. Thanks for the input. By the way, it is "my kid" and that is the reason I posed this question. Thanks! |

| | | Okay, you guys covered the real answer, so here's the related question.
Has anyone ever come back from DOLLYWOOD pregnant?

| | | The danger is that you risk the egg being separated from the uteran wall. My wife asked her doctor about it.
I'm guessing more than a few people have ridden a coaster while pregnant (and didn't know it at the time).
Gun to my head, I say you'd probably be OK, but is that a chance you are willing to take? If you ride and the baby is born, no problem. If you miscarry, it could haunt you for a good long time even if you are reasonably sure the coaster ride wasn't the cause. |

Dollywood has plenty of things to do besides rides...there are a lot of great shows and other interesting attractions throughout the park.
