Yes. You can go to a haunted house. You should not ride roller coasters or other extreme rides, but you can go to a haunted house.

ETA: There isn't really anything you can't do when you are pregnant. Other than drinking, drugs, smoking, and unnecessary roughness on your body.

But you can still exercise (walk constantly when pregnant, it is really good for you) and you can still have sex, work, dance, everything. Pregnancy isn't a time to lay around and do nothing. Do everything. Smile

Yeah, but you won't really be doing that for more than a second of 'scare'.

I so want to go to a haunted house this year, because I've never been to one before. Smile My fiance jokes that I'll scare myself into labor if I go though.

Did you end up going last night?

How far along were you?

It is interesting that haunted houses would be a no-no. Are scary movies too?

I want to go too. I go every year. But I'm not going to this year. I'm a klutz at times and especially in the dark. I have extremly bad vision in the dark and am afraid that I may trip over something and fall.

I know this has nothing to do with haunted houses but I know personally two girls who were in their 3rd trimester (hid their pregnancies the whole time) and played softball!!! Then had them like a month later and everyone was freaked lol
