preggos at parties...

[TzMePlz]

have you seen any? has anybody heard of any problems with this?

I'm about halfway through my first pregnancy and would like to shake my belly at a party, even though I know I would only last a few hours...I just wonder what massive bass would sound like in utero.

So if anybody has any insight on this issue [like if you or a friend or significant other did it and had no problems or the baby came out deaf or a dance master] kindly let me know!

I do intend on going to concerts later on in pregnancy, so I figured a party wouldn't be much different, but you never know...

you don't see it often, but I've seen it done, I don't know the effects of the loud music on an unborn child, only thing i would worry about is the child going def from its ears being exposed to loud noises while in development. id also worry about people running into you, im sure you wouldn't want that, and you will probably want to avoid smokers and will probably get fatigued, just play it safe, don't drink, don't smoke, don't do any drugs and im sure everything will be great, music is said to be good for the yet to be born...

Ever seen knocked up? When the Pregnant lady shows up at the club and the bouncer turns them away because nobody wants to be partying with some pregnant lady? That scene was hilarious, and true, dont nobdoy want to be partying with some pregnant old lady, looks awkward and out of place.

"You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant bitches running around."

Plus IMHO it looks trashy and disgusting cause then you gotta be asking yourself, damn is that pregnant bitch rolling? Im finna feel bad for them kids!

Srsly tho, if your prgnany should you be at home building cribs or like having baby showers, mayb you should leave the raving and partying behind now ya know, that ya have responsibilities? Like i said, aint to many people fond of partying and doing drugs with some prenant old ladys....

Plus, where is your husband on this? You sure he wants you carrying around his child from club to club? I sure as hell wouldnt....

First of all.. CONGRATS!

I have one year old twins, and I'm still a raver, even though I'm somewhat limited at times.

I thought about still going to parties when I was pregnant, but a lot of things factored out me actually going to one...

1) Some raves allow smoking inside, and you don't want all that second hand smoke getting to your baby.

2) People are shady, and might try to give you something unexpected, such as drugs, and that DEFINITELY is not good for your child.

3) It's extremely hot, and you could get dehydrated quicker than anyone else.

4) Raves and parties in general tend to get crowded: Think of all the times you have partied, and people have run into you... Do you want someone accidently bumping into you really hard, and possibley hurting your baby, or causing you to go into premature labor?

5) When you have kids, you need to become a resposible person really quickly, and I'm not saying that ravers or people who party arn't resposible, or that you shouldn't party period, but raving is one of those things that you take chances on your life with at times.

Think of all of this before you go party, because it's not just about you anymore, it's gonna be mostly just about your new baby.

I think that if you want your baby to hear loud thumpin' bumpin' bass while in utero, you should probably grab a good mix CD, and play it at home, or someone elses house, and stand right next to the speakers... I did! And now the ONLY thing my kids dance to is hardcore!

This is a toughy, Dr.s say that music is good for a child. You know they have that pic of the headphones on the tummy. To let you know hun when I was prego with my son I had an 18" speaker MASSIVE bass right behind my seat. I played trance all the time when driving & now that my son is older he sleeps only with music on every night which he also likes trance! I know you must know that as that child is inside of you they feel what you feel. Music especially trance always puts me in a good mood that meant my child was happy.

But these facts that other people have stated are def true! You NEVER KNOW who is slipping something into your drink. Some kids think there funny but there not there just plain ass's. "wow let's see what a prego person acts like on e or any other drug etc..." For your childs protection i'd rather know that you stayed home you have plenty of time to party in the future. it's true you got not only yourself to think about anymore but a person who depends on you more than anything & that means keeping them safe & healthy!

I did go to parties when I was prego, but I didn't know I was till I was almost 3 months. I went to massive raves & had GHB slipped in my drink. When I ever found out that I was prego I was petrified of what might have happened to him while at those parties or on those drugs. I knew I'd be a good mom but would the state or courts know I would be just because I had drugs in me which was totally not my fault! & yes hun you must know from attending them raves that you can get hurt!

Well i said my peace I hope you make the right decission! Shoot too bad you didn't live closer I'd take you out night on the town for just staying in the whole time



Let the sun shine on your soul, get rid of that negativity, for you need to set it free.

Stay at home.

the logistics aren't in your favor.

DONT BE STUPID

[east clubbin]

bitch is u stupid? next you're gonna be asking if its alright to give your 8 year old some pills and if its cool for him to go to a rave.

[Incoherent]

...this thread is nuts

Damn there are some fiesty damn people here...

So I will step up and say I went to a party when pregnant. I was about 3 months pregnant and was a photographer for the event. I was allowed to sit in the VIP and get away from the mass crowd. I got my own water and let NO ONE touch it, and did not drink off of other people. I was either up front taking pictures on the stage or in VIP. I never once walked into the crowd because I didn't want people bumping into me. People didn't smoke around me if we were sitting at the tables.

So can you do it? Sure. But be safe. You should have someone there sober that can make sure no one fucks with you. Stay away from the speakers.

For those acting like its irresponsible... have you been in the same position? Do you have kids? Just because YOU wouldn't do it doesn't make it wrong if she's safe. Who cares if no one wants to party around pregnant people. They can just turn and look away. Simple as that. Just because a parent goes out it doesn'tmake them a bad parent.

I really appreciate the thoughtfulness that went into the responses, particularly the ladies who actually had kids and can relate to what I'm asking about. Thank YOU for the intelligent and experienced input on the matter.

And I'm kinda surprised how concerned other people are for my unborn baby, wanting me to not rave it up and what not, calling me a stupid bitch...the issue is I NEVER SAID SHIT ABOUT DOING DRUGS OR DRINKING OR SMOKING [except pot, which is a-ok, cuz I'm responsible and do my research ]

Please -- read the fucking post. I JUST WANNA DANCE! And I thought it'd be great to do it where everybody's all PLUR and shit, but the majority of responses remind me of the hypocrisy of the 'scene'...from the etarded kandi kids slipping shit into drinks to mean fuckers not wanting to see 'pregnant old bitches' at their club...I've always partied responsibly in the past, I've gone sober to events and had a good time. Just because YOU might get all gurped up every weekend and take whatever you can get your hands on to 'have a good time' doesn't mean that's what I do. And maybe 23 is a little old for the 'scene', especially when most comparables are aforementioned etarded kandi kids still in high school.

Maybe I'll just wait until somethin's crackin at the Regency so I can get a seat and dance in the balcony without having to worry about dumb ass etards falling all over the place while I'm trying to have a good time.

Not like I'm defending myself, I just felt like I had to set shit straight.

So PLUR bitches

I still wouldn't smoke weed when pregnant. Not sure if you meant that when you said you do your research, but yeah......... I wouldn't touch that.

when I say I do my research, I really do my research...and this isn't the only bit I went off of, either. There's a great book out there called Women & Cannabis, and it basically has a whole bunch of scientific reports for women in all stages of life, which is great because there's little talk of pot and pregnancy [because there's really nothing wrong with it]. The cases you hear publicized are reports from polydrug using moms or they didn't do good controls for other substances. Basically, to most of the medical profession, if you smoke pot then you also do crack, heroin, and other nasty shit, which I have never done and never intend to do.

Just to clarify these small points.
