Would you go to WDW 34 weeks pregnant?

[JTsMom]

I don't think I could do it at that point for a couple of reasons. First, that's a heck of a lot of walking. Second, I'd be too worried about planning it then having to cancel and disappoint the kids (although I'm sure you could just not tell them).

No, I wouldn't do it. I was high risk both times and at 34w with DD#1, I was on bedrest and off work. I was able to work up to my c/s date with DD#2, but there was no way I would have been able to do any sort of flying or walking or vacation of any sort.

JMHO.

I would say it depends on how you feel at this stage of your pregnancy and how hot it is going to be. I went to a very large state fair at 35 weeks and it was a terrible decision because it as 85+ that day. I spent most of the time sitting near a water mister with DH worrying about me. Not fun.

September is still very hot. It is also still prime hurricane season.

We went at the end of September when I was about 18w pregnant with DS2. The daytime heat was almost unbearable - high 80s-low 90s and humid. I would have been completely miserable at 34w pregnant. Sure, you can take your toddler back for a nap, but keep in mind that it will take you 45mins or so to get back to the hotel, then reverse the trip to meet up with everyone after naptime. It's not as relaxing as it sounds.

Note, too, that trip insurance does not cover a lot of pregnancy-related maladies, like bedrest. Although Disney packages carry relatively low cancellation fees until you are in the last week, but airfare penalties are fairly steep.

I wouldn't do it.

No way!!

But I got very big and I was very tired. Plus my ankles were the
size of my thighs.

My DH would have been pushing me in a Disney stroller.

I just know, if I don't go then we won't be able to go for 2 more years and I don't want to disappoint my parents and dd. We had this planned before I got pregant.

You can usually fly to at least 36 weeks and I am used to the heat. But I also don't remember being that uncomfortable in my first pregnancy. I never reached the point where I was wishing for the pregnancy to be over asap. But then again it will probably be different the second time.

Thank you for all your opinions.

I'd go. DH and your parents will be there- right? So if you need a time out - time to put up your feet or take a nap they can take the kids.

We went to Bermuda when I was 35/36 weeks and it was so nice to get away and take my mind off of baby stuff. I know Disney is a bit more chaotic, but still - it is away - and, as you point out, it will be a couple years before you can likely go again. Just buy the travel insurance. My 2 cents.

[lorinick]

NO, not even a chance. I couldn't even see how it could be fun to walk around WDW 34 weeks preg. Let alone being away from your own doctors and family.

Can you move the trip up a month or back a couple of months? Then you'd either be less pregnant or toting a newborn - but I'd rather do that than do Disney at 34 weeks.
