to ask her to take someone else?

[sofaqueenie]

I bought my best friend and I two Take That tickets for 30th June, which we've been really looking forward to.

I've recently discovered that I'm pregnant and it works out I'll be around 13 weeks when we go.

TBH - I really don't want to go now for that reason and a few others. I don't know how to tell her that I don't want to go, but that she's more than welcome to take someone else.

She's been looking forward to it so much with me, and she's confided in me that I'm her only real friend that she likes spending time with, so it makes it a little worse. She knows I'm pregnant, and she's already started to panic about how she's 'going to have to make sure I'm OK' and I just can't be doing with it!

Any advice?

I went to see KISS at 28 weeks pregnant - luckily because I had booked the tickets (pre-pregnancy) we had seats! If dh had done it we would have been standing in the middle of all the action!

DS loves music now, always dancing when he hears it!

Standing - can you not go nearer the back, take a blanket and sit down to watch? I have standing tickets for TT in May. We will have 9y DD with us and plam on staying a but further back to mae sure she is ok.

Sickness - does it tend to go on all day? Are you nauseaus or actually sick? Does anything help it?

Money - unless you can find someone to pay for the tickets I am not sure this helps you.

I'd go unless I was feeling really ill. Might be your last chance for a while.

You lot are mean. She could strain herself trying to hit the high notes on Patuence. Someone could set fire to her hair during a particularly sad ballad. Gary could fall off the stage on to her.
There are many hazards facing the unwary foetus. Just be use you are reckless doesn't mean the rest of us play fast and lose with our teeny tiny peoplets

Heehee
Patience came out a bit like flatulence didn't it.
(always a risk, to be fair)

I was certainly most at risk of flatulence when I was pregnant.

Considering the demographic of Take That fans are women in their 30's, there is probably a labour ward tent on stand-by in the arena. I expect there will be a higher number of pregnant women there than at any other concert in the UK!

Whilst being patient flatulence can certainly pass the time

Possibly, Mofes.

(that's snorting btw, not farting, although I have had lentils for lunch, so you never know)

I worked on the last TT tour when I was PG with DD1, I was on my feet all show, everynight, amongst the crowds with all day sickness and DD was absolutely fine. She was so fine I went to see a show when I was PG with DD2 just to ensure she got the same start in life :).

OP you sound lovely
Blimey I'm lucky DD was ever born quite frankly, she is DC4 and most days apart from feeling utterly crap I didn't have time to even think about the little person I was growing. I was to busy getting on with life.
OP don't go you obviously don't want to

"Our point is that Take That pose no threat to unborn children."

lolol

I sympathise. I think you are cautious, like me.

I remember being 17, and giving away A-ha tickets, IN THEIR HEYDAY, because i was going to do a fashion show the following day, and was worried about limping on the catwalk.....

A-HA!

What was I thinking.....

When I was pregnant 24 and 19 years ago you never worried about sickness, standing on trains, running. I used to volley fences in the middle of the A13 i.e the barrier fences at 26 weeks pregnant.

What is it with people nowadays that as soon as they get pregnant they cease to do anything like standing! NO wonder people put on weight when they carry if they become sedentry.

If the OP is as pissy in real life as she is online then I bet her friend will secretly be delighted if she calls off. Imagine being trapped for hours and hours in the seat next to Sofaqueenie...

Hahahahahahaha I love threads like this.

OP: AIBU?

Everyone else: Yes. YABU. Get a grip already.

OP: Fuck you all. No I'm not!

I wouldn't go either. No way would I expose my unborn baby (4 weeks to go!) to Take That. [shudder]

Charming sofaqueenie

I'll have to take your word for it that you're nice IRL because the contents of this thread seem to indicate otherwise

We're all twatty are we? Curry's a cybertit? You're a real charmer, aren't you. . Toddle off now, dearie. pats head

Actually, you say you're a nice person IRL - that's absolutely not how you have come across on here. You have presented yourself as a self righteous and aggressive person. Maybe it's how you write and you don't articulate yourself well on screen, but there are limits.

Saffy - it's reponses like that that make me sound 'pissy'.

A simple, YABU will suffice. Not all the other shitty comments that go with it.

Im 18 weeks pregant with dc2 and I undertstand sofaqueenie (congrats btw!)

I dont commit to any future events as I have no idea how knackered, sick I will feel or if I will be suffering from the runs/ constant need to wee (yes tmi but true!) at the time.

I make it clear to people I might come but dont count on it 100% as its the fair thing to them, dont buy me a ticket whatever you do etc. My health and babies is my priority (and yes my sleep... oh precious sleep...). I would HATEt the stress of I HAVE to go to something no matter how awful I feel.

Its all very well saying "well I did so and so and 24 weeks or 30 weeks etc" as it quite different then. You well cleared the very vunreable stage of potential miscarriage, your obviously pregnant so people are really treat you with more care and the yucky stuff has passed and the energy is back

Ummm ... Went to see Iron Maiden at 8 months gone ... Was sitting down though!

( Waits to get flamed for irresposible sprog-endangering and lamentable taste in music ... )

Cybertit! I love love love this thread.
