Concerts and Pregnancy

**Tillismama** · 17-01-2008 16:45

My partner is a music photographer and band manager ..
I'm missing the gigs so much .. I used to get to hang out with my friends at these things, with work and kids it was our only time to just hang out!

I'm unsure about the effect the music would have on baby so I haven't attended anything .. plus i dont like the idea of being in a dodgy bar with drunk people right now ...
BUT ..
MS FEST, a big outdoor festival in tassie to raise money for the ms society is coming up. One of our friends is the promotor, ryan is the photographer and we get back stage passes and I really really really want to go!

Wondered if anyone knew anything about this kind of thing??
I'll be about 16 weeks pregnant at the time?

My friends sister has 8 weeks left and she is attending the big day out on the gold coast I ' am sure you will be fine to attend MS FEST just don't go in any mosh pit's and take the day easy drink plenty of water ,sit when you can and have regular snacks.

I don't see anything wrong with it, I was still going to bars and night clubs at 7mths preg (I had bubs at 8mths)

bubs might be a bit energetic while at the concert, your voice will be louder than what the music will be too bubs

i saw ozzy live when i was 8 months gone with dd9 LOL i wasnt going to miss it for the world!

AS long as you are careful and dont get banged around or pushed and shoved etc all should be ok

I've been to heaps of gigs when pg, I even went to Earthcore camping for 2 nights when 5 months. You'll be fine, just stay out of the big crowds, although if you are only 16 weeks you probably don't have a big belly to be banged into.

i am 38 weeks and we are going to HI 5 circus stage show tomorrow, my only fear is going into labour

, i also went to a Delta Goodrem concert at 25 weeks with my first, she just danced around to it. Its fine.

I went to a rock concert at The Metro in Sydney when I was 8mths pregnant. No dramas at all. I picked a safe spot with a good view of the stage where I could sit down if my legs got a little tired and was nice and close to the ladies toilets (I must of went at least 5 times)

My baby listened to some awesome shows in utero! In fact, the night before she was born we went to a Nick Cave/Grinderman concert!

She's fine now - perfect on her hearing test. The only side effect seems to be that she loves to fall asleep to music now.

Go, enjoy yourself!

When I was pregnant with my DD I went to.....
- Robbie Williams
- U2
- Kylie Minogue
- INXS
- Jimmy Barnes
I think there is one more but my pregnancy brain wont squeeze it out.

I think that it is ok to go just dont stand right infront of the speakers.

I agree with what everyone else has said and just wanted to add one more thing:

When I was pregnant with my DS, I was tossing up whether or not to go to U2, until my both my midwife and a sonographer friend pointed out that I'd already had two ultrasounds. According to both of them, nothing beats that for noise...
