Im completely gutted about missing Bestival! (Best amazing most wonderful festival on the isle of wight) its next weekend and I have been dreading it since I found out I was pg (totally not planned). I go every year its literally the highlight of my year and its always an amazing experience, this year my absolute fave band is playing absolutely soul crushed to miss them and being a local I cant really escape all the hype of it all! My partner is dead against me going, he does worry about baby (his first) but I get the impression its more to do with the fact he thinks it would look bad for a pregnant woman to go and I would be frowned upon rather than the safety aspect of it all! He actually says that bit before the it not being safe. Il only be 15 weeks then, so not huge. Im a pretty experienced festivaler so I know to stay out of the crush etc and generally how to stay safe. Also camping is not an issue for me im a taxi ride away from home so if I get tired its home in 20. I can pay extra for the fancy loos too so I really dont see the big problem! Am I a bad mum for wanting to go? Would I actually be frowned upon lol? Im not going anyway now to save agro but would just like to hear what you guys think!! Hes making me feel really guilty for even thinking about it! To be honest I am bloody missing socialising too!! and bestival is always the time I see all my friends at once. Finding it hard to think about the next 6 months of not going out :( it sounds awful but I really valued my saturday nights out I work bloody hard in the week and have my 7 year old 24/7. Feeling a tad depressed and rather lonely
