I've always loved going to see bands and I figured just because I'm PG it shouldn't stop me. There are loads of gigs I've got tickets for this month and next but last week I went to the first one since I've been visibly PG. It started - wore my tight dress and someone even gave up their seat for me. Watched the support band and had a few sneaky sips of my DH's beer. But then the main band came on and they seemed SO MUCH louder. I suddenly panicked that it was too loud for my baby's newly formed ear drums. When DH asked if I was all right, I burst into tears saying I was deafening my baby
Oh dear!
We ended up leaving after 3 songs because, although my DH wasn't quite as hormonal as me(!) this is our first and I guess it highlights how uncertain we are about, well, everything. Of course as soon as we got home we read online that sound is like hearing everything underwater for a baby in the womb and they're very protected. But I was so ready to sell or give up all my tickets - the first time I'd felt the protection instinct I guess.
I now feel much better after reading common sense from many moms-to-be who went to see bands while up to 8/9 months PG. So there's no way I'm giving up my tickets to see The Killers next month!!!!!!
Anyone been in the same quandary? Would you go to a gig pregnant? Who's seeing what bands in the next few months?
