    Going to a concert (seated) at 38+5 weeks pregnant

    Am I mad for contemplating going to a concert when I will be 38+5? If I get tickets they will be in the seated section and it is an outdoors concert but my DH thinks I am being stupid to even consider it which I prob am but I am such a huge fan and its not like there will be a mosh pit or anything (its a B*rnard F*nning concert.) I should add that I already have tickets to his concert in August so I will still get to see him regardless. So for those of you that actually know what its like to be 38+5 weeks would you bother or am I likely to be way to uncomfortable to sit through a concert? Or should I just get the tickets anyway and see what I am like at the time (you never know I might have popped already by then )

    Get the tickets. Enjoy the music. Plan a hot bath & a rest the next day.

    Going to a concert (seated) at 38+5 weeks pregnant

    I'll be 8.5mths preg when I go see PINK brought the tickets before I found out I was pregnant. No way am I giving up my ticket. GO to the concert. I figure if i go into labour at the concert she might give me free tickets for life

    Provided you aren't going to be too far away from where you plan to give birth I would get them. You don't want to be an hour or more away in case you do go into labour and ave to drive a long way back as that can be quite uncomfortable.

    You could always sell them if you can't go. I must add though, I was having a fantastic pregnancy up until 37-38 weeks and then it all came crashing down. I am currently 39 weeks and I can't go to the supermarket let alone a concert!

    I would go I sat through AFL games at 40 & 41 weeks during my two pregnancies. Is all about how you feel rather than number of weeks - sitting down doing nothing but enjoying yourself seems like a perfect late pregnancy activity to me.

    If its seated I'd go! I'm not happy about missing out on a fear factory concert next week coz I'll be 35 weeks but that's a whole different scenario!

    Based on my past experiences, I wouldn't but only cause both my girls arrived spontaneously that week - 38+5 and 38+4!

    I love Bernard Fanning though and his first solo tour was amazing. Get the tickets and enjoy!

    I'd definitely get the tix. I went to a concert at 37 weeks and had a great time. (Then was induced at 38+5 for medical reasons). If you aren't feeling up to it at the time I'm sure you'll find someone else to take the tix
