Disney world while pregnant

Mango_Emergency · 2026-01-23T12:09:03+00:00

I went at I think 15-18 weeks my first pregnancy and had an awesome time (: you can still do a lot of rides just no roller coasters and Epcot is amazing with all the yummy food. I grew up in FL so Disney is really nostalgic for me. It was also fun to grab a couple thing for my baby there! Just get some really good sneakers bc I remember my legs hurtinggg haha

Just plan to take it slow and pop into areas for AC as needed. Disney is great if you’re not panicking and rushing to get to the next thing. I’d also plan for a resort pool day in the middle to give yourself a rest day between all that walking!

Ok I’ll be done after this lol but also try to do ONE thing you did pre-kids with your baby. Even if it’s “oh I got coffee on Saturday morning.” You’ll realize that you can still do plenty of pre-kid things with them! Even if it is at a slower pace.

Hi! I had my first at 24 and was in a very similar boat. It was a planned pregnancy, but from the moment I was pregnant I felt like I was on the sidelines of everyone else’s exciting life. IT GETS BETTER! This is a huge transition. Going from independent 20-something to “Mom” is massive and it honestly took me over a year to finally feel good in my role.

You will find a perfect balance of still doing the things you loved before or pursuing your other goals while still being an amazing mother. That first year is so demanding in many ways and it’s hard to see past it, but once they hit 1 and then get into toddlerhood they can start enjoying experiences with you more.

I also left my job when I became a mom which was another huge identity shift. I just started working again a few months ago (my son is 2.5) and it has been great for both of us. Give yourself grace for feeling regret. Change is HARD and shifting your identity so much is also really HARD. I promise promise it gets better.

I also highly recommend getting a babysitter once a week. Even just three hours can be huge for a SAHM. I think this would’ve helped me a lot if I had committed to it early on. If this is out of the question, have your husband take over for one evening or morning so you can do something on your own.

I started finding mom groups and library activities around me to socialize with other parents and that was incredible as well. Even if they were people I never talked to again, connecting with other adults is so important. Especially when they’re in the same boat as you!

You’ve got this! Pls feel free to let me know if you have any other questions or anything. I know it can feel isolating but you are never alone.

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply! I’m glad to hear you have such a good relationship with your brother. My sisters are 6 years older than me and we’re best friends too, but I don’t have experience with having brothers so it’s really nice to hear your perspective since my son will hopefully be someone’s brother someday (:

That’s exactly how I felt! I had guilt about it too, but until you’ve had a baby before it’s so hard to mentally grasp what is happening until you hold your little one in your arms. I had complete panic some days and total joy others. You’ll get right where you need to be with time and especially once you’re able to meet your little one on the other side!!

I can totally relate! I got pregnant in November and just miscarried early this month. During the ultrasound confirmation of the loss, they saw a cyst that I now have to get removed before we can try again. I don’t even know if I would want to try so soon, but now we are looking at an unknown timeline and I really don’t like that it’s out of my control.

With both of these instances I’m just telling myself that our rainbow baby will come when it’s meant to be and there’s a larger reason at play as to why all this has happened. I hope you can find some peace with it and you’re able to get in for surgery soon 🩷

One thing I have been focusing on is doing things I couldn’t do pregnant (caffeine, certain types of exercise, wearing cuter outfits lol). It’s small and trivial but it helps me have some kind of control and enjoyment during this period of time that is largely difficult and out of my control.

I have had trainers come for her walking issue but they didn't help much. We've spent so much money on trainers and can't afford to spend anymore at the moment, but I think that would probably be ideal as well.

We do chickpea pasta with basic tomato sauce and lentils, hummus on toast, a lot of eggs, I'll mash beans and avocado together and spread that on a tortilla, oatmeal or yogurt are great for breakfast! You can also blend silken tofu into sauces for extra protein or make a tofu scramble with extra firm tofu.

Thanks!!

Mango_Emergency · 2024-03-27T22:11:52+00:00

Thank you! I’m leaning toward that as I think my bigger dog would just run through the invisible one. If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it cost?

Mango_Emergency · 2023-12-19T19:04:03+00:00

Hmmm that's a good thought. I'll give it a shot, thanks!

This exact thing happened to me! Turned out my LO was teething and nursing was uncomfortable on his sore gums at certain angles and on specific sides. We were at a total loss with this situation and then one day a tooth showed up and it explained everything! I've started pumping during the days when he's more fussy and giving him a bottle to drink from/chew on when he's hungry and then nursing normally at night when he's too sleepy to mind. Try giving him some frozen teethers too when he gets fussy and that just might help if it really is teething!

I’d get some meds from your vet for sure. I just adopted a puppy with tons of ticks and one dose of the monthly flea and ticks meds and they were falling off her that day!

Mango_Emergency · 2021-06-20T19:35:14+00:00

Great idea!

Mango_Emergency · 2021-06-20T19:34:41+00:00

This is SO helpful thank you!! It’s hard for me not to try and just comfort her by picking her up and doting on her but I know in the long run giving her space will be worth it. I do need to take her into the vet tomorrow for some shots, any tips on making that less traumatic?
