This rigorous activity creates additional jarring forces within the uterus that may lead to premature separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus, which is called placental abruption.

Water or a Refillable Water BottleTo help keep you hydrated and to prevent swelling, you'll need to be drinking a lot of water. If you have a place to store pre-filled water bottles (like in a stroller or locker) bring them with you. Bring a refillable water bottle and fill at the fountains.

Rider Switch is a very simple concept; it allows you or other members of your party to stay outside of a ride with the child/children while other members of your party wait in line. Once they're finished, guests with the Rider Switch pass don't have to stand in the standby line to enjoy the attraction.
