I am pregnant and I use the restroom whenever i see one, know that i am close to one and especially before getting into line for a ride. 20 minutes of wait time even followed by a few more minutes , is not that big of a deal. I immagine they were evacuating the people in bad positions first, like on the exit hill, or precariously perched on a drop. I have faith in DL that they will do their best to keep me safe and secure. Some women use being pregnant as a way to get what they want. Attention, good or bad.. it doesn't matter. Cheshire Cat.

Originally Posted By melekalikimaka I can think of a lot of reasons why someone would feel panic in that situation!
Originally Posted By imadisneygal You don't have to be in a closed-in situation to experience a panic attack, either. It can be anywhere, at any time. Many women experience panic attacks for the first time in their lives while pregnant.

Often times, DL fire and paramedics are used interchangeably and during a package situation, unless it is safe for the guest to exit an attraction, they might hold guests at there current locations until they are cleared.
