Is it safe to go to a firework display when you're heavily pregnant?
Trouble is I'll be 36 weeks pregnant (with my first child) on Nov 5th and BF refuses to take me to a display as he says he's worried all the noise, excitement, loud bangs, standing outside in the cold for hours etc might send me into labour.
Is he overreacting?
Answers:
I went to a fourth of july (due in september at the time), and saw fireworks. the only thing that happened was my baby punched my belly like crazy! He turned out perfectly healthy- 9lbs 10oz healthy! And, we went this 4th of July (he was maybe 9 months old) and he just loved it! Go- you should be fine. It didn't send me into labor- plus, being your first you have a long labor ahead- mine was 19hrs plus a c-section after all that. goodluck! Have fun while you can!
The baby's ears are baffled by the fluid
as long as you don't use your a*se as a launch pad for the rockets
yes I think he is.I think you would be fine.Bunndle up and don't to close to the fire works and you will be fine.I have 3 kids of my own
not too sure i guess so?
yes he is, he probably doesn't want to go, if you stay away from the smoke you are good
No
omigod, just go, quit being so overprotective. the sound will be muffled by your amniotic fluid.
i went to concerts with my kids in my tummy, parties, haunted houses. everything. i have healthy twins and one more on the way. they're fine.
it would probably b okay but i would be worried about the fumes and sound if u are too close. it's up 2 u but i wouldn't go (but i'm a first-timer so i'm overly protective)
i think he might be slightly overreacting! i don't think that it would be a problem. your baby will come when it's ready and not because of the loud noises. i think the baby will be used to hearing all sorts of noises and this shouldn't bother him/her more than any other noise has
Theres no problem at all with you going to a firework display being heavily pregnant, as long as you wrap up warm. The noise will probably make your baby kick. When i went out once while heavily pregnant, there was really loud music, and my baby kicked all night!!!!!!! Its just the loud noise, there would be no medical implications at all.
He just like every happy father concern about you and the baby. But it is ok I went to Martie Gara when I was 41 weeks and 2 days pregent.
just stay away from fire and don't drink and such
Is it safe to go when your not 36 weeks pregnant. Tell BF to take a chill pill.Go if you fancy it. Coz if you feel good you can bet junior does.
I do believe it would be very foolish of you and the experience may cause your unborn child distress. I am not a medical person, just a stupid bloke. I really do hope you do not go to the display. Good luck with the babe and give him/her a pat from yahoo!
That's very sweet for him to be concerned, unless he's planning to go somewhere without you. I've seen fireworks with all three pregnancies and there was no problem, also went to car races which were much louder. The baby's ears are safe from things that aren't too close, just think when you're under water. Bring a blanket and sit in the vehicle if you can for some time. The major danger of a fireworks display that would have anything to do with being pregnant, and not just the usual dangers of being hit by fireworks, is if there were a major catastrophe and you needed to run quickly.
So, is your boyfriend just stressed out or tired? It is a lot for a caring man to deal with when his gf is pregnant.
You may end up having to chock it up to being the girlfriend of a barman.
Yeah - sounds like he doesn't wanna stand outside in the cold with all the noise - or maybe he just doesn't want to take the night off!
4th of July I was 39 weeks pregnant, its safe, don't worry about it!
The noise does not effect the babies hearing, the baby is padded in there, and will be okay :)
Have fun!
You are the one who knows what is best for your baby? if you feel that noise and . will hurt your baby do not go.
I would not go, since loud bangs make me jump , and I am sure that is no good for baby.
Your baby will hear those bangs and noises, but not as strong as you do
I do not think he is overreacting
Take care
I wouldn't if it were me
no external forces will make you go into labor. not only that, even if you do, you will be 36 weeks which is considered full term anyway.
Yes it think he is being a little overprotective. My best friend went to the 4th of July fireworks, due on July 12 and had the baby on July 16. I might bring a chair but otherwise go and have fun. After you have the baby going out will be a little harder. Have fun.
And you managed to copulate? amazing!
I dont see what he is fussing about. just cause you are pregnant doesnt mean you have to be wrapped in cotton wool. there is nothing to worry about by going to see fireworks. I did it and my son was born happy and healthy 2 weeks later.
what a brill guy no you arnt more likely to go into labour
yes if you are going to be close to the fire. if you have to run fast how would you get out quickly
Don't worry about the noise affecting the baby.
Personally I would be more worried about the cold and standing for too long. At 36 weeks you are very prone to puffy ankles etc.
Good luck.
yes you will be fine, i went last year when i was around the same weeks pregant. the baby may jump when the loud bangs go off. which made me jump a little as i wasnt expecting it. lol
Make sure you wrap up warm and if possible take a fold up chair with you, so you can sit down.
Good luck! I hope you get to go. there so much fun..
You might get tired and cold so make sure you wrap up warm, you don't want a chill.
But, otherwise, no real reason why it might send you into labour. Unless you are frightened by such noises (doesn't sound like it!) there's no reason it would raise your heart rate or blood pressure by enough to cause a problem.
Also, at 36 weeks pregnant you are term. So it wouldn't matter if anything were to kick start your labour, baby would be absolutely fine.
Go and have fun! Last chance you'll get for a while.
