Hi, I'm new to the forums and I'm about 2 months pregnant....i was wondering if anybody on here has been pregant and played ddr...i was thinking it would be ok to play the slower songs on light mode and stuff. What does everyone else think?

My wife played while she was pregnant. She didn't play on heavy, so it was alright to play. You'll find that as you get bigger it will become harder and harder to play, so your body will let you know what is too much. Its not like the baby will fall out of you as you're playing. Have fun!

Anyway, wouldnt playing while pregnant have some bad affect on the the baby, especially wth all the bouncing and what not

There was a thread about this a while ago, and I think the conclusion was that it was normally OK to do it. However, I would strongly recommend against taking anyone's word for it on this forum, including mine. Ask an expert.

Those 2 things go together perfectly, just like Konami & Lawsuits, Silent Hill & DDR, Michael Jackson & kids, Rare & Microsoft.....Need I go on?
Just don't do any 8-10 ft.

If you are going to do that..
Play Light or Standard... and avoid songs with alot of jumps

You should absolutely not play DDR on any mode while pregnant.
Does common sense even exist anymore?

EDIT: There is warning at the beginning of the DDR console game intruction booklets that says not specifically not to play while pregnant.

I rest my case.

I think that worrying about your child is more important than playing DDR. But if you really want to play, play on Beginner or Light and avoid all jumps.

I'd say not to play at all, but it's your baby so I guess it's up to you.

Clearly, Konami wants to cover its arse in the event of a terrible accident while playing DDR. You'll see that all of that (blah blah) also discusses the risk of seizures, and suggest that players take half-hour breaks for every hour of playing. In short, the warnings go overboard out of caution.
