Hi,
i have been trying to look online and gauge peoples thoughts on this and it seems very mixed, I haven’t made my mind up yet.

i am currently due around 23/24 September with first child, my sister and I have Taylor Swift tickets for Wembley on 19th august, we do have seated tickets. I was just wondering if this was an absolute non starter or if anyone thinks it is doable 🤣.
we live in Glasgow so would be getting train down and staying over night then back the next day.. just the more I think about it the worse an idea it seems but then sometimes I’m not sure.
please don’t judge if it really is a bad idea cos I’m just clueless and need told 🤣

I went to see Oasis at about 34/35 weeks pregnant seated at Wembley- i couldn't walk quickly so we left before the encore to avoid being jostled on the way out too much and had parked nearby - I sat for most of it, not really an oasis fan had gone with DH who was... it was fine but would say the queues getting out to the tube station can be long - where are you staying? I'd be more concerned about having to wait for transport at the end of the night (usually mounted police doing crowd control between the stadium and the tube) and book a hotel within walking distance instead or be prepared to make an early exit. Northwick Park is the nearest maternity hospital to the stadium but I am sure you won't need to go there.

I went to Murrayfield (rugby) when very pregnant, it was all fine except I couldn't fit through the turnstiles and they had to open an actual GATE for me. It was a bit of a walk to and from the car and picnic, and quite a lot of stairs but then seated inside the stadium. I think definitely go for it.

I went to watch George Michael at 7 1/2 months I did have to go to the loo a couple of times but I still had a great time.

And at least I got to see him xx

I'd go to a seated concert (I'm currently 8 months pregnant and going to seated Celtic Connections gigs in the coming week) but personally I wouldn't travel so far at that stage. The actual travelling would possibly be more uncomfortable than the gig, no matter how you're getting to London.
But as others have said, if you're comfortable doing it just make contingency plans and take a bag with you just in case.

When I was expecting #2 I went to a concert at 41 + 4 days. Granted it wasn’t a stadium concert and my hospital was about 1/2 mile from the venue.

DD was born at 42 + 1.

I say go and have fun!

Taylor is playing in my city (Dublin) on my actual due date. I didn’t manage to get tickets sadly but if by some miracle I get resale ones, I’d take the chance!

Hospital is only down the road though 😅 I’m a big swifty and if I were you I’d definitely be going
