Should I go to a club/lounge/bar while pregnant?
My friend just graduated and I want to celebrate with her however she'd going to a club/lounge. She has a sectional so I would essentially have somewhere to sit however I am being judged and being deemed a bad mom if I go. I don't care about being on the scene I just want to celebrate with my friend and I don't see harm in that. And I'm old enough to know if I don't feel safe go home etc and catch an uber....kinda torn but I'm also like why is it ok for certain "types" of people to do things but the moment I do it it's a problem. While I know my party days are over I don't go to these types of places unless it's special occasion. Otherwise I'm home, shopping, brunching, or napping lol I'm 24 weeks just living comfortably until some of these girls felt the need to throw their opinions in

I wouldn’t because of the noise level of a club. If it was like a quieter speakeasy kinda place I would go.
If you wanna go, GO! You don't have to stay long but if it's something you want to be there for to help her celebrate, I'd go. People will judge you no matter what you do so you should just focus on doing what you want.
So I recommend talking to a provider, but I also looked some stuff up online. From what I see, *constant* loud noise like living by an airport is linked to babies being underweight at birth. But I'm getting conflicting information about temporary loud noises like concerts. I've never been to a club (personal preference), but I've been to several concerts, and I know they're loud, so I'm guessing that a club will also be very loud. I'd check with your provider before making a decision. Aside from that, if the doc/midwife says it's fine, then it's up to you.
You should go! I still go out with my friends and get a cute little mocktail. I honestly never feel out of the loop or like I’m missing something, and after I have a few and get tired I leave. My doctor said I’m a-okay to go to bars and clubs as long as it’s not shoulder to shoulder!!
Definitely go! Don’t get drunk or high though… but enjoy. It’ll be muchhh harder to go out (and more guilt) once baby is outside. I also wouldn’t worry about the noise. I used power tools at times while pregnant.. my son wasn’t a fan but he’s totally fine. Prolonged noise is where the issue is.
I would definitely go. I went to a Jesse McCartney concert Monday and it was so worth it. The amniotic fluid will filter out the sound a lot. My daughter was kicking up a storm the whole time.
Personally I wouldn't go just because I've read recently about so many bartenders confusing drinks and putting alcohol in them even when you ask for none and if theres anyone smoking hookah that can still get in your babies lungs
I've gone a few times with friends and I got weird looks when I ordered water (idk maybe I didn't look pregnant enough) also I realized it's not as fun when you can't drink I was the first one tired and ready to call it quits. I was also easily irritated by all the obnoxious people.
I used to always order vodka cranberry. Now I get cranberry soda (I always watch them make it just to confirm for my paranoid self that they don’t put alcohol in it). Nobody questions it, nobody cares. Screw people’s weird looks. Do what you’re comfortable with.
