To think this is majorly stupid!!

My Dsis is 37 weeks pregnant today she is going to a concert that is only standing. In our region there is an amber warning for the heat wave and I saw pictures of the concert last night the place is huge. What if she gets trapped in the middle and finds it hard to get out. She's a hour and half away from our home and hospital too. She said the reason she's going with her friend is because she couldn't get rid/sell ticket for face value and it was alot of money to waste. I mean I think I'd rather waste money than do what she's doing today, especially in the heatwave!

Concerns about growth could just have been a midwife measuring with the tape and sending her for a scan. Not a big deal and happens to lots of women.

Gosh, I'm only 21 weeks but right now I couldn't manage this! I guess she wouldn't go if she didn't feel up to it though?

Are you volunteering to babysit after it's born at all? Or is she going to be pretty much stuck inside permanently (as her partner sounds pretty useless) for the next 15 years?

If you aren't, I think it's fairly safe to say that she knows exactly what she is doing - having her last taste of freedom for years.

She'll be fine.

She is not being stupid or irresponsible at all. Your DSis knows if she would be ok or not. If anything did happen there are paramedics on site that will be able to help.

Yabu. Not all women have difficult pregnancies that result in us giving up perfectly normal, safe activities. It used to piss me right off having clueless wankers offer their silly opinions on what I should or shouldn’t be doing ‘in my condition’. Especially as they wouldn’t have appreciated it if I’d chosen to judge them as lazy and precious and advised them to crack on and stop wallowing, regardless of any difficulties they might be experiencing.

It is absolutely none of your business and you sound really bitter.

Your sister knows how she is feeling, knows what advice she has had from her doctor, and knows what the concert will be like. If she needs to leave she will be able to do so. She won’t be ‘trapped’. What a weird thing to say. If she feels unwell she can leave in a matter of minutes.

As for the heat: women are pregnant in hot weather all over the world every day. The baby isn’t going to roast like a chicken.
