Question 1

can i get on a rollacoster while my first weeks of pregrancy ?

Accepted Answer

I would not: Although, rollercoaster rides are not contraindicated in pregnancy, but if that is associated with scary feelings, i would not go for it. Remember, it is not just you but also your baby is going to feel what you will. Why stress him? If something goes wrong with your pregnancy, chances are you will be blaming it on the rollercoaster. Better safe than sorry!

Question 2

at 20 weeks would riding a rollarcoaster kill your baby?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't risk it: Would depend upon the forces of the roller coaster, but why tempt fate?  Give your baby the best chance for a healthy delivery.  No alcohol, no non-prescribed drugs, no smoking, are just a few things you can do during pregnancy.

Question 3

is a pacemaker bad for rollercoasters?

Accepted Answer

Implant date?: If it's been implanted &gt;6 weeks ago, a rollercoaster shouldn't be harmful, but i wouldn't recommend it early on after implant (before the leads have become implanted and the incision has healed).

Question 4

why can't i go on rollercoasters when i'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Start-Stop: Rollercoasters often engage in high speed and frequent start-stop maneuvers in order to elicit the adrenaline rush.  Unfortunately, these maneuvers place your changing body, the baby, and your placenta/uterus at risk (e.g. placental abruption). Furthermore, the security restraints often do not fit pregnant women correctly, and can cause damage just as an improperly placed seatbelt can.

Question 5

will rollercoasters affect conception/fertilization?

Accepted Answer

No : Riding a roller coaster will not affect conception. I notice you are 18.Are you trying to get pregnant? Consider birth control to avoid being a teen mom. You only get to young once. Set goals for your life, your education, your career and then work hard to create an amazing life. Enjoy your youth and be a great mom later on.

Question 6

spinal scoliosos is it dangerous riding a rollercoaster?

Accepted Answer

no: If you are asking if there is a contra-indication to riding a rollercoaster if you have scoliosis, then no, there is no contraindication.  The main contraindication in patient with scoliosis and riding rollercoasters is in patients who have had recent surgery.  Thank you for the question.

Question 7

how soon after getting lasik can i ride a rollercoaster?

Accepted Answer

Safely 1-2 months: The risk is that you might bump you eyes and dislodge the LASIK flap.  After 1-2 months it should be pretty solid.  But it is your vision and you should protect it.

Question 8

i have a overactive bladder would it worsen on rollercoasters?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: overactive bladder is generally not related to physical activity

Question 9

do all bipolars feel they are on a daily emotional rollercoaster or is that rapid cycling?

Accepted Answer

No they dont : What you are describing is those untreated with medicine and/or therapy, unaware of their moods and how to cope. This also describes rapid cycling. People medicated are on a even keel and manage themselves better. Regular med checkups ensure they behave and feel optimally. Bipolar dx is not so out of control as people think. Get therapy/medical help or get whomever asks some.

Question 10

i went on a rollercoaster two days ago and my lower back i has been hurting since then should i get it checked?

Accepted Answer

Wait a bit: Sound like a healthy 17 yo.  Often after a back injury, it is worse 48 hours later.  Give it a little more time.  Each day from not on should be a little bit better.  If it gets worse instead, or after a week you are not one bit better, then seek help.  Warm soaks, massage, and otc meds should help.
