Concert at 6 Months?

[DoubleK]

i saw Chris Brown & Rihanna, i was about 12w and i felt so bad, i was right near the stage and my whole body was vibrating from the music.

there are 4 more concerts that i would be going to if i werent pg, but i just cant do it! perhaps it wouldnt be as bad in seats, rather than standing near the stage..

Thanks ladies, they are GA tickets but I think I'll be able to stand at the back, not as fun as friends be at the front. But least I won't miss out I'll just see how I feel closer to the time - hopefully i'll be able to

Yeah, definitely go!! After bubs arrives it won't be so easy!!
They're really well insulated in there, apparently the noise they hear can be compared to you or me hanging out at the bottom of a swimming pool listening to music - really muffled and nowhere near as loud as what we'd hear if we weren't under water.
I went to see My Chemical Romance when I was pregnant with DD, I'd bought the tickets well before I'd conceived and come hell or high water I was going, they're my favourite band!! It was great - they played at the Tivoli so there was no seating, but instead of being in the mosh I grabbed a spot on the lower balcony, so I was within spitting distance of the stage but wasn't getting elbowed and crushed by rabid teenagers...
I did end up spending the support band's set in the toilets as their sound techs were pouring waaayyyyy too much bass through the speakers and I was getting nauseated, I wasn't worried about DD being affected but it was making me feel sick as a dog so I climbed over the balcony and sat in the toilets (luckily they have beautiful plush couches lining the wall oppsite the basins so it's not like I was sitting in a cubicle with the lid down!!) for half an hour until they walked off... MCR's levels were fantastic, I totally forgot all about DH's stern warnings to 'take it easy' and thrashed myself - I didn't stop jumping up and down and screaming for their entire set, I was sooo exhausted but it felt great to let loose. And to this day MCR is DD's favourite, I don't listen to them that much these days (there's just so much music out there!!) but when I do she gets all excited and headbangs like her mummy

But yeah, definitely go, I'd say! Most people are really understanding and accommodating of pregnant fans, if it's a rock concert you will usually get a few people nearby to band together and 'protect' you from any harm, if it's a more mellow band then there's no problems!! Just make sure you keep your water up and have a great time. And, it makes a good story for when they get older, especially if they like the artist you went to see - 'Did you know you went to 'x's' concert when you were still in Mummy's tummy?!' they love it lol

Definately go! Like everyone said they will be fine! Its hard not to worry though.
I am a music freak and love my concerts! I think I saw 4 or 5 concerts while pg! I was about 6 months when I saw P!nk in the GA area, I needed to pee before she came out but held it cause we had a really good spot! That will probably be the only thing! And make sure you dink lots of water, as it tends to get hot in the Ga areas.

Have fun! x

Yes definately go!
We volunteered at the Tassie Falls Festival over New Year's when I was just 7-8 weeks - dog tired after a days work and hardly saw any bands cos when I did have the energy to stay up past 8pm the smell of ciggie smoke made me wretch
But I'm really looking to my favourite festival in a couple of weeks: another camping one but this time I'm not working, I've got heaps more energy and we usually carve out a nice possie at the back under the trees away from smoke with banana-lounges, hammocks and eskies for everyone to meet and chill out when tired of the crowds - I reckon I'll just hang out there for the duration

Definitley go! I'd be more concerned about being bumped and pushed than the noise. We're going to see Coldplay next week and my friend is preggers too (24 weeks) so we have seated tickets.

I'm only early days at the moment but we have been to several concerts already and have more to come. I just hope my little one loves music as much as I do!

[Glamourcide]

I just hope my little one loves music as much as I do!

I'm convinced that they do!! I've read heaps of things that say babies can recognise music played to them in the womb, and that if you're, say, a punk rock fan, your bub will enjoy listening to your favourite bands over the recommended bub-friendly things like classical.
I know DD is a big fan of my favourite music, obviously she has her own taste in music because I put on Channel [V] and she will dance to the cr@ppiest music going, but her real favourites are things that I enjoy as well - she loves bands like Paramore, Evanescence, Lacuna Coil and HIM as well as Lady GaGa and Britney Spears (omg she loooooves Britney lol). I remember being pregnant with her and driving around with DH one day, and he listens to (awful) gangsta rap and techno (and always turned up so loud you can hear him coming from three suburbs away) and DD started kicking in time to the bass
Most books and things I've read recommend playing music to bub while they're in your belly, and to give them lots of exposure to music before and after birth - humans are really big on music and it benefits them in a lot of ways. So just keep listening to lots of music and you can guarantee your bub will be a big music fan

GO have fun! i went to 2 heavy metal concerts while preg, was only first trimester though and all was fine! i did end up losing the bub but it was nothing to do with that.
