Festival

So my boyfriend and I have decided to go to slam dunk festival this year but I’m going to be 24 weeks pregnant, anyone got any tips/advice.

I know peoples advise is going to be ‘don’t go’ but I’ve been struggling with a lot and it’s something for me to look forward to

I think im gonna go to bloodstock at 33 weeks pregnant haha

I'm not camping, but I know slamdunk isn't a camping one.

Tips for me would be staying hydrated, taking regular breaks, sitting often or taking a camping chair if you can
You should stay towards the sides/back of the stages rather than being right in the middle
Make sure you always know where the toilets are, medic tent etc
Try and look on Facebook groups etc to see if anyone else has done it and what their experience has been (heard some made things about being pregnant at download, for example)

You know your body and know what's safe etc, you'll know your babies movements by then

Just look after yourself, drink lots of water, Suncream regardless of the weather, cover up with lightweight breathable clothing etc

Ahhh I'm jealous!!

I agree with the above. You won't have a huge bump by then but you are still not going to want to be standing all day. So if you can keep out of the crowds and be able to sit when you need to you'll be more comfortable. And definitely lots of water!!
But I hope you still have a fab time ☺️

I think we’re going to take camping chairs, I’m not 100% sure if we’re allowed to take them onto the ground though. Thank you though ladies!!

I think we’re doing it too and I’ll be a similar way through. I went last year with a friend who was pregnant, just be prepared for the walk up to the festival from the car park, but other than that, just be mindful of those around you, stay where you’re comfortable and take a plastic bottle with you as you’re allowed to fill it with drinking water for free.

Most importantly I would say have fun 🧡 and if you’re in the north, give me a wave 👋

Shame! But have a fantastic time yourself! Just take it steady, I’m sure you’ll love it

Take it easy! Stay hydrated and obviously no moshing haha. I’ve got 3 gigs this year and 4 conventions all planned before we found out and I can’t wait to attend them pregnant!
