Concerts and shows

[Babyellisdue150915]

I'm going to the rupaul show at the ritz in Manchester... I'm really worried cause there's no seating and I'm four months.. Do you think it will be ok? I don't even wanna go

There'll always be somewhere to sit, even if it's just bum perching. I a,ways seem to manage to book concerts in for late pregnancy, last time I had to change my tickets to the disability seats as I was on crutches. We need up behind a pillar, DH wasn't amused!

If you don't want to go don't go! I think you'll be fine but if you don't want to you don't need an excuse.

You'll be fine. With DS I did Foo Fighters at Milton Keynes (drove there and back in a day from Nrewcastle Upon Tyne) at 7 months. Also did a few more local gigs too. This time have Foo Fighter when I'll be 4 months (I think Dave Grohl is my fertility idol, book Foo tickets, get pregnant) and we're then going to a weekend festival when I'll be 6 months, with DS in tow.

But, I want to do these things. If you don't want to go you'll not enjoy it whether you sit or stand. You might end up having a great time so don't let being pregnant stop you.

I went to Green Day when I was 4 months with DD. Neither of us suffered any ill effects.

If you don't want to go, don't.

I went to two festivals when pg with dd. It was fine. I just stayed away from the moshpit.

I went to a Kanye concert when I was about 5 months - was fine. Take some water etc, but obviously don't go if you don't want to! You won't enjoy it if you don't want to go and are worrying etc

I've been to concerts when pregnant - Ocean Colour Scene at 14w and Feeder at 22w, standing areas. All fine. But I like them - if you don't want to go, don't go!

Can you contact the venue in advance? I went to Sleater-Kinney at the Albert Hall in Manchester - I emailed the venue only to ask if they did have any seating and they put us in this little VIP bit! We had great seats. Worth a try!

But like others have said, if you don't want to go, don't! You have a good excuse...

I went to see slipknot at about 21 weeks and papa roach at about 30 weeks and was standing at both. I had no problems at all although obv I didn't go right to the front or anything! I've found people to be really helpful when you're pregnant anyway so I think if you needed a seat someone would find you one!

I went to a four day electronic music festival at 5 months, it was fine.

I've been to two gigs in the last 2 weeks, both standing. I'm 20 weeks. First one I felt a bit faint (but this has happened before at the same venue so don't think it's a pregnancy thing!) and just sat on the floor for minute! Apart from that I was fine. It's up to you, you will be fine most probably but if you don't want to go anyway, then don't.
