BST Hyde Park 36.5 weeks pregnant - tips/advice

[Jessikahxx]

I’m planning to take my 14 year old to Lana Del Rey next weekend as she is her favourite artist EVER and I don’t want to let her down but I’m 36.5 weeks pregnant so am a little nervous about how busy it will be.
My husband is staying at home with my older son and toddler so it’ll be just me and her for the day.
I’m debating upgrading to diamond VIP if that would be less busy and give seating options but also don’t want to waste the additional funds on an upgrade if the viewing areas for VIP are just as crowded. Wondering if anyone has experience of this area? I know gold circle will be crowded as that’s where hardcore fans usually are!
I love a gig or festival usually so am no stranger but have not been to BST @ Hyde park before. I did do a music festival a month ago (at 30 weeks pregnant) in our caravan for 4 nights with all 3 children and it was absolutely fine.

I’ve also booked a hotel right by Marble Arch so we can walk straight there after the show so don’t have to worry about squishing onto tubes.
I’m torn on what to do re: tickets but want my daughter to have the best day as she really deserves it and it’s likely the last thing we’ll do as a girly day just the two of us for a couple of months.
Any experience / Advice greatly welcomed.

hi, I’ve been to BST this year, just general admission. Yep, it’s crowded, but if you’re not right at the front there’s plenty of room to move about. A lot of people (especially those with young children) had picnic blankets and sat right at the back. They could see the screens, but not much of the stage. Diamond areas were a lot less crowded (and have a roof, which would be good if it rained!) I guess it depends on money and your preference.
facilities and organisation were brilliant. We’d def go again.

I would upgrade to bless you are comfortable sitting on the ground and getting up while pregnant.

I was there last night to see guns and roses. It was bloody brilliant the set up. I've not been to BST before and I was in awe. It is expensive though. We stood on the outskirts towards the back/sides. We had plenty of space and could see/hear them perfectly ... Well on the screens not on the stage. But this was fine for us.

Afterwards just take your time if you're staying nearby. Yes it is crowded but we didn't get pushed or anything just hold hands and slowly make your way out.

The toilet areas with the plastic floors down do get slippery but they were clean and quick to get through. The ones right of the stage by the bars (if you're looking at the stage) were easy to get into and use a toilet almost immediately.

Loads of places to eat and drink from. If you go to the British Airways stand there is a silent disco which was really fun and cool. But just have a fab time.

Thanks everyone for the comments and tips so far - I did debate leaving 10 mins before the end to try and avoid larger crowds. I know my daughter really won’t mind making a little headstart on getting out given that it’ll be darker then and people may have had a drink and not notice my very obvious bump.

Toilet situation was another reason I was considering upgrading but it sounds like GA toilets are ok generally.

I really wish there was more info/photo examples online of the difference between GA and diamond so I could commit to a decision 🙈
