The place did have decent indoor bathrooms, but we sleep in a tent for 2 nights. I brought a ton of water in case the local water wasn't clean. I don't think I'd do it again though... we were in the woods and found a tick in our stuff at home :shocked: Hopefully you don't have to worry about that where you're going? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011928 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 12:52:30 +0000 LindsayInNY 2011928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it really depends... It took us two years to get pregnant. If I had passed on everything I wanted to do, just in case, I would've had a miserable two years! That being said, I did get possible due dates in mind... So I wouldn't book trips or vacations or whatever around the time I would be due that cycle until I knew I was out. Not sure if that helps? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011829 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 12:10:10 +0000 FaithFertility 2011829@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to an NFL football game 7 months pregnant and tail-gated with my Gatorade....lol</p> <p>It wasn't that bad.... port o potties kinda gross, but being PG I was told always go ahead of the line :) </p> <p>Just stay hydrated......I spent a small fortune on water and Gatorade...I am in FL so it was HOT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011386 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 08:41:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2011386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smith: I've missed bonaroo twice because I was pregnant, but I was in the third tri both times. </p> <p>I guess it depends how you feel. In the first tri &amp; I was so sick and wouldn't fully enjoy the festival experience. In the second tri, I felt great but would worry about people hitting into my belly. In the third tri I was so fat and sweaty and exhausted I didn't want to move from my AC.</p> <p>So... I guess it depends what you want to get out of the experience? I'd want to drink and dance all night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011359 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 08:22:07 +0000 yellowbird 2011359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to one at 34 weeks super pregnant and in the middle of summer. My legs were so swollen I couldn't walk st some points due to the weather and activity level. It was painful! DH helped me a lot and we took it easy though. I got to sleep in the camper while everyone else was in a tent :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011356 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 08:20:14 +0000 wheres_c 2011356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to several concerts and festivals throughout. Unless I had VIP, I would say the cutoff of feeling comfortable would be about 25 weeks.<br /> I went to a festival 35 weeks pregnant and took a pillow and sat on the lawn and was super miserable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011267 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 03:47:57 +0000 sarac 2011267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been to several concerts so far this pregnancy, and it was fine. I'd really hesitate about something in the terrible heat, though. That would be my only hang up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011226 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 01:53:25 +0000 Mrs.Panda 2011226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a concert in my third trimester this past summer and I was so hot and uncomfortable. This was with seats and indoor bathrooms. Granted I live in Florida so the heat is suffocating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011183 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:29:27 +0000 meganmp 2011183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to Bumbershoot in Seattle 6 months along with twins and it was really fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011175 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 00:00:39 +0000 QBbride 2011175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't think twice about it, you might as well do it before baby comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011170 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:42:56 +0000 Emsmems 2011170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it would depend a lot on how far along you were. Towards the end of pregnancy, it would've been REALLY uncomfortable to stand so much. Other than that I think it would be ok! Just have lots of water, no matter the temperature! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011148 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 23:09:05 +0000 youboots 2011148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did back around 11 weeks and did just fine. I drank lots of water and my MS ended up being tolerable that weekend. I would not go out of my way to do it in the first trimester (like I would not have bought the tickets pregnant) but I don't reccomend putting your life on hold just in case. The hordes of drunk people was my biggest complaint even over the portable toilets. Overall it was fun and M had a great time, plus it was a lot easier that it will be this summer with a 4 month old in tow. (Still trying to decide if we can swing it, we may wait and find some tickets last minute) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011132 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:36:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 2011132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went to a festival pregnant. The only slightly annoying thing was the toilet situation, but at our venue there were in door and outdoor options, so I was ok. I also felt like baby was kind of jumpy with some of the louder acts... so I often was looking for a quieter spot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/going-to-music-festival-pregnant#post-2011126 Mon, 05 Jan 2015 22:33:51 +0000 smith 2011126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wondering if any of you have gone to a large music festival or similar event during your pregnancy, and if so, how awful and uncomfortable was it? How far along were you?</p> <p>DH and I are going to start TTC this year, and the thought of going to Lollapalooza and Pitchfork while pregnant sounds awful - port-a-potties, limited seating, hot weather, tons of walking - but we're not sure we want to push our timeline back so far to avoid festival season completely. So, is it as terrible as I'm imagining? </p>
