To be going out out on NY whilst pregnant?

[topshoprincess]

I am 25 weeks pregnant and meant to go out with my friends to celebrate New Years. The plan was made months ago (we all live in different parts of the country and are never all together very often) so at the time the plans were being made I was well up for it.

Plan involves going to a pub for drinks and then onto a club. (Obviously I won't be drinking) I wasn't planning on staying out late late but guess it would depend how I felt

I was actually so up for this, I was excited to see all my friends but what on earth would other people think. Would I even get in a club with my pregnant belly and would people stare at me all night? Should I cancel? What would you think if you saw a pregnant lady out on the razzle?

The hell with what other people think. You want to party? Party! Enjoy your NYE.

Its not like your going out to get drunk, you are going out to enjoy the night with friends nothing wrong with that!

Your pregnant not suffering a terrible illness and if you feel up to going why the hell not? Besides once babies here your be going nowhere for a while

Yes the club will let you in
Who cares if some people stare, your doing nothing wrong

Are you a child or an adult? Are you not capable of making your won decisions?

Why on earth do you think other people should decide whether you should go out or not?
And why would being pregnant mean you couldn't go out if you wanted to?

I did when I was pregnant. I was around 6 months pregnant and my husband was Djing in a club and I wanted to see in the new year with him so I went out with friends and met him in the club for midnight. I think I was home in bed by 1am but I only lived round the corner at the time!

Do it!

I went on three hen weekends when pregnant, all involved clubs. I don’t think I got any negative comments!

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and planned to go out out for Christmas Eve. I lasted 1h15 before I got fed up and left them to it, haha. Good luck to you, go for it! I wish I could have handled it but I was bored. Don't worry about what anyone else says.

Do you think nightclubs bar pregnant women? Why would they? It would be against equality legislation even if it occurred to them to do it.

I spend Hogmanay at the Whisky Society while 6 months pg. It never crossed my mind not to. The only problem was squeezing through the bar crowds with a bump.

Why would you think anyone would be looking at you on NYE? Or give a second thought to you being in a nightclub or whatever..

I doubt anyone else will care but see how you feel. I went on a couple of nights out while pregnant for different events and felt quite paranoid about people near my bump. The drunker people get the less they notice your bump and the more they barge into you. Totally accidental but obviously not ideal. Have a good night out!

I really don't think anyone will care or even notice. And you can definitely get into clubs. I went on a few hen dos during my last pregnancy. Sometimes when were pregnant we have a tendency to think that anyone and everyone is as wrapped up in our pregnancy as we are. Do what you feel up to doing. Personally I'm incredibly jealous that you're going out tomorrow. I'm 23 weeks and DH and I are stuck in because we have no childcare/family nearby. So make the most of it while you still can!

Defiantly go out! I went to bf hen party when 32 weeks pg. I had a great time. The night out was the only bit I could go on as earlier it was a spa day and I didn't fancy sitting in a swimming pool for 3 hours while everyone else was in saunas etc.

I even got chatted up and I was obviously very pregnant and wearing wedding rings lol

I wouldn't go to a club but only because I would worry about someone bumping into me and the bump.

I'm 41 weeks pregnant. I'm going to my friends party tonight. Well it is a bbq in her yard but I will still be there.
I used to go clubbing when pregnant with my oldest who is now 19. I never had issues but was always aware of other people and my space.

I went to a club at 39 weeks. Didn’t stay long when it transpired it was a hipster place with no chairs. But went!

I would think nothing of it. Pregnant women are just as entitiled to a social lifeas anyone else

I don't see why you couldn't go if you have the energy.

Of course you should go out if you want to. I went out loads in my first pregnancy but have no stamina this time around. I'm impressed as I'll be tucked up before midnight probably!

I would think

"Ooooh baby bump. I'm so broody"
"Gosh she has more stamina than I did"
"Ooooh its my birthday, where's my cocktail gone"
