Should I go to Universal Studios While I am Pregnant?

Before tackling this question we need to mention that not all pregnancies are the same for each woman. Some may be able to walk the whole park without a problem while others may not be able to handle the same track.

First Trimester

Many women report feeling tired during the first trimester; consider staying on-site at Orlando hotels near Universal Studios and you'll be able to head back to your room for a rest as needed. For best results plan on exploring Universal and City Walk in short segments and rest as needed. You won't be feeling many of the physical discomforts of pregnancy yet, and you'll find fitting into seats and ride vehicles is still easy.

If morning sickness is a problemstart with a light snack each day, and consider scheduling breakfast for later in the morning.Avoid simulation rides first thing in the morning; even if they are not wild enough to prevent pregnant women from riding, the motion could make you feel more ill.

Second Trimester

Once the initial tiredness and slightly sick feeling of the first trimester have passed, you can enjoy the burst of energy most women report feeling in the second trimester.This may be the ideal time to visit Universal during pregnancy since you'll feel better and your risk of complications is low.Follow the pregnancy warnings on rides, and make reservations at some of Universal and CityWalk's best dining venues. You should also consider purchasing one of Universal's meal plans, and snack your way through the park.

Consider staying at one of the area's luxury Orlando hotels, and pamper yourself with extra services like the spa, swimming pool and room service. Taking great care of yourself will allow you to fully enjoy your time at Universal Orlando during pregnancy.

Third Trimester

Make a doctor's appointment a priority and get an all-clear for travel before you leave home.Most doctors allow healthy pregnant women to travel in this trimester, provided they don't overdo it. We suggest buying the one park per day Universal Studios discounted tickets, this will save you money and you probably will not be at the parks all day. Some airlines will require a doctor's note for travel from obviously pregnant women; you may not be asked for one, but it is a handy thing to have if you need it.

This is an ideal time to explore the shops of Universal on foot, taking plenty of breaks between visits. You can still enjoy the shows and stationary attractions at Universal Orlando and should schedule these throughout the day. Consider purchasing one of Universal's Express pass and you'll avoid spending too much time on your feet waiting in line. Plan on enjoying a few leisurely meals at locations like Mythos, and consider renting a luxury Orlando vacation home rentals instead of staying in a busy resort. You'll be able to enjoy all the comforts of home without feeling rushed or crowded.

Prepare For Your Trip To Universal Studios

Schedule a checkup with your doctor a few days before your trip.Getting a clean bill of health from your obstetrician will give you confidence about traveling, and also give you the opportunity to answer any questions you may have about your trip. Ask for a travel copy of your medical records, and check out the location of local doctors and hospitals, just in case.

If you are flying to Orlando, ask for an aisle seat. Pregnant women are more prone to swelling than other passengers; getting up and walking around occasionally will help alleviate this issue. If you are driving, make a rest stop every hour or two and get out and stretch your legs. You'll arrive at your Orlando hotel refreshed and ready to enjoy Universal Studios.Enjoy yourself! If the idea of going to a theme park stresses you out while you are pregnant, just don't go! Now more than any other time it is important to trust your intuition alongside the advice of your doctor. If you are feeling good and a day at the theme park will bring you joy, by all means, go...but make sure to stay hydrated and well-nourished.
