Loud noises

I’m 21 weeks and went to watch the England game this evening in a pub which was really loud, I was worried about the noise all night which made me not enjoy it as much, does anyone know if Loud noise can affect the baby or if it is safe?

No it won't effect the baby as they can't hear until about 24 weeks anyway. Also amniotic fluid has a dampening effect and they don't respond to all sounds. I've had fun playing, listening to tv background music or being in pubs with different sorts of music, and seeing what my baby moves to.

I was in the front row at a concert at 27 weeks, and the bump was fine. Wriggled quite happily through the mellower songs, and then apparently dozed off again just before the drum solo!

As @Bluebug45 said, the amniotic fluid does a good job of filtering down sound, so they're quite safe.
