Concert for expectant mother?

[skibaroo]

I have floor tickets for the Nelly Furtado concert this Wednesday and my wife will be 25 weeks pregnant by then. I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the safety of attending such a concert at that stage of pregnancy. I've searched the Net and I'm finding mixed information. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: For clarification purposes, the tickets are for seats on the ACC floor.

A concert would be fine for your baby but I know that being 25 wks pregnant I would NOT want to be on the floor standing at a concert. Any chance of getting tickets elsewhere?

The concert should be fine for both baby and mother. I don't see why at 25 weeks she should be limited physically in any way...it's pregnancy and not an illness.

Have fun...I'm jealous!!!

i think it's fine...as long as she gets a spot to rest at intervals..
i personally would not want to stand for the whole duration..and it'd be nice to have seats close to a washroom too..haha

i'm jealous for the tix too! (but now that i've got a newborn..its hard to get away..even for a couple of hours!)

Floor seats at a concert are very loud, I've been to a lot of them where I can feel the bass right through my body (which I enjoy!). My feeling is that this could quite realistically be a stress on the baby, and I know that my wife would probably avoid such things while pregnant.

Who can say for sure, really? In such cases, I always think in terms of the potential risk/benefit of it. The benefit is small, a performer you could catch next time, so my willingness to accept even a small amount of risk for it would be nil.

I would also consider the fact that there is going to be plenty of smoking in the venue, both cigarette and other. I know that they claim that it's a non-smoking venue, but if pop concerts are anything like the concerts I go to there's still plenty of people doing it.

A Nelly Furtado concert??? Gimme a break...25 weeks would be a great time for this now a Slayer concert you may want to stay away from the floor!

At around 32-33 weeks, I bought tix for my wife and I for Dave Matthews at Ontario Place (her all-time fave, I could take him or leave him). They were first row off the floor, so we were able to sit or stand at our leisure, but I made sure of that seating before I bought them (E-bay, if I recall). I worried a bit about noise level and "smoke", but I figured the mostly outdoor venue would disperse both OK, and I was right. I'd be a little more concerned with indoor acoustics (loud?! more for you and your wife than the baby ,and don't expect sightlines to be too hot). We both thoroughly enjoyed the DMB show, with no apparent bad effects. Strangely enough though, my 3 1/2 year old daughter's hair is starting to thin on top, and she dances by standing in one spot and just shuffling her feet back and forth!

I was at a Motley Crue Concert 2 summers ago at the Aphitheatre and some idiots on the lawn had a baby with them. COuld not have been older than 2 months old.

Just Awful!!!
