Chessington while pregnant?

[CrispieCake]

Probably a silly question and I'm probably overthinking it but are the little kids' rides at Chessington safe to do while pregnant?

I'm thinking of taking my 4yo to Chessington on a cheap ticket the week after next (last few weeks we can do it without paying full-price), but I'm 16 weeks pregnant and just wondering whether the sorts of rides a 4 year old will want to do there will be ok for me to do as well?

No. Because any sudden stop could throw you against the restraining bar, right across your stomach. Even if you're not going fast, it could still cause significant damage, particularly if you're RH- and baby is RH+.

Hi OP

I went to Alton Towers and did six rollercoasters two days before finding out I was pregnant. I have no idea how risky that was and wouldn't have done it if I'd had a clue, but I didn't and it was fine.
Rides for four year olds are t much different to sitting on a bus! I'm sure you'll be ok.

And now I'm wondering if I'm being too blasé.

All rides have disclaimers saying not ride while pregnant - I know they won't check, but it's not a risk I'd want to take.

@BobDear as far as I know it's just the risk of a sudden stop & being banged against the restraining bar. Probably the same sort of risk as a sudden stop in a car and a seatbelt across the waist. But most people would find it hard to avoid the car, whereas rollercoasters are much more skippable!

There's a pdf on their website with access details and restrictions for all rides

Looks like pregnancy rules you out for everything that's actually a ride.

Looks like it might not be worthwhile after all 😬! Shame - DS would only really like the gentler rides anyway and is over 1.1 so could probably ride alone on some of them, but I really wouldn't be comfortable waving him off to go on them by himself.
