pregnant at coachella

[jak5257]

So after 10 months of trying to get pregnant it finally happend, question is would you go to coachella five months pregnant?

[Riggins33]

Are you gonna roll or just smoke weed, drink, and do blow? Cause I heard ecstasy is bad for babies... But all of that walking will be totally awesome for you and your fetus.

[santasutt]

From what I've read, fetuses have been trashing this line-up; so, no, I wouldn't.

[amyzzz]

Five months does not sound too bad.

Girl you cray.

[billtino]

Only if you wear one of these:

[gaypalmsprings]

I'd stay home.

[insbordnat]

If you're secretly hoping for a miscarriage, then yes.

Also, you won't have to worry about getting pregnant - just a thought.

[Tendeafears]

It's really, really hot. You might be really uncomfortable. I'd suggest winging it - see how you are feeling in April and if you could handle it. You can always sell your ticket, at least if it's anything like the last 3 years.

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Hope your baby likes slamdancing.

[amyzzz]

Don't listen to these downers. DO IT.

FACT: I was pregnant with my first child at the very first Coachella. It went fine. Ok, I was a week or two along, but still. It was a blast.

[Mike Litoris]

Didn't a lady give birth at coachella a few years back?

[insbordnat]

And besides, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is totally a myth.

My wife was a similar time gone in 2004. She was fine, it was two days then though and she was flagging late on day 2. It really comes down to how you feel, listen to how your body feels. If it feels tired, then rest. My wifes biggest problem was that she was needing the bathroom every hour.

Just be prepared to actually miss bands, because if your back or legs say no more, its no more.

Also, consider this a 'last' chance to go to Coachella. After baby is born you won't fancy bringing a 7-8 month old to Coachella.

[amyzzz]

I skipped Coachella between 99 and 04 because of my kids (and couldn't afford it either).

If anyone wants to be 3 days pregnant on Sunday, come find me Thursday

[fatbastard]

As long as you don't mind your baby being poked in the cheek by a penis then..

Last year I went with a friend who was 5 months pregnant. All went well, but there were definitely a couple times she didn't feel well and needed to step away for a period of time. It didn't help that it was like 30 degrees the first two days. Just be prepared for many girls to stare at you and make nasty faces.

...And creeps to stare at you and make nasty faces.

[Iamwelting]

Well at least if you get morning sickness you'll blend right in!

[heart cooks brain]

I'd stay home.

if i were you, and i was five months pregnant, i'd probably stay home as well.

[Neighborhood Creep]

I wanted to dance with a thizzed out mom of 9 with 1 on the way

[getbetter]

I say do it ....then again im ok with pregos smoking lite amounts of pot during their pregnancy

[levi760]

My wife is going to be about 6mo preggers and is NOT going...Waaaaay too much walking/standing, plus a bike ride away to the house=no bueno

[NachoCat]

Abort. Try again after. Get your priorities in order

[baily]

I'd stay home.

'have an abortion then go to chella'

My wife has gone pregnant twice. First time she was 4 months pregnant. Second time she was 6 months pregnant. The first time I got use VIP passes, so she could access the nice toilets and they have some comfy couches where you can see the Main stage from. But she got a bit exhausted, on one of the nights, and was planning on leaving early. Only problem was there were no in/outs that year and so I had to leave with her. Some Goldenvoice employee gave us a ride in a cart to our car - at which point my wife changed her mind and decided to go back in. The employee snuck us in a back way to a medical tent where she rested for a little while. A little dramatic, but everything was fine. They have nice cots in there and they won't bother you unless you want them too.

The second time we car camped. It helps that I have a VW Eurovan. So our "tent" doesn't get nearly as hot. We brought a pool, and a mister and relaxed the whole weekend. That was a blast. No problems.

2 things, just be sure to take it easy. Don't expect to be able to walk around to all the tents. Drink plenty of water - as usual. If you're camping, bring a kiddie pool and plenty of water containers or bring a wagon to wheel water over from the faucets. Also plan on buying a lot of ice for your cooler, then drain it into the pool when it starts to melt. At night, be sure to wear glow sticks or something that lights you up so people can see your belly - you don't want them running into you. Don't be shy with the glow sticks.
