Concert while pregnant 2021

I recently found out I am pregnant (4 weeks approx), DH and I are over the moon. Since finding out I am feeling a major lack of up to date info regarding Covid and what I should or shouldn't do socially, and I can't see a midwife for another 4 weeks.

I have a couple of concerts coming up which were booked months ago, I have been looking forward to them massively, but now I am not sure whether to go. These are standing venues, indoors and likely to be busy (though I would remain masked). I am fully vaccinated but trying to work out the risk level. My doctor was useless in helping me on the subject and effectively told me to work out how risky it was for myself - not exactly helpful.

Has anyone been in a similar position? I will be letting people very dear to me down if I don't go. They don't know I am expecting, but the gigs are a couple of weeks away and its too soon to tell them, but I know they would be understanding regardless. Any advice or similar experiences would be much appreciated!

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Personally for me I wouldn't have went when pregnant. Not even so much for the covid risk, that's a personal decision you really need to decide if you're comfortable with exposing yourself when pregnant. More so, whenever I've been to standing concerts, there's a lot of pushing and shoving (mostly by accident from people dancing etc) and I would worry about accidentally being knocked in to, especially with being so early and people around you won't know you're pregnant

I went to a rock concert at 23 weeks! I sat down as security guard let us skip the queue and gave us great seats but I had standing tickets and would've been fine

Although saying that there were mosh pits so if I stood I would've stood at the back Smile that and my bladder is shocking
