Pregnant & Clubbing?

Question

I'm currently 7 months pregnant and my friends and I wanted to go clubbing this weekend but my mother is telling me that they are not going to let me go in the club because I'm pregnant, she says because I'm too much of a "hazard" to the club if something were to happen. I dont see why they wouldnt let me in, and if they dont isn't that discrimination? Can they really not let me in the club? I don't plan on drinking or smoking or anything, I just want to have a good time with my friends. Please, Help, What do I do? Do I go or not?

I would like to add extra details since some people are taking the question the wrong way. First I have never been to a club in my life before and my friends thought that it would be nice to take me before I have to baby and I have my hands full for the next 18 years. I don't plan on being the center of attention on the dance floor or anything like that what so ever, I just wanted to be there with my friends. Furthermore I have helped my mother all of my life raise my brother and sister, so I do not think that I am being an irreponsible person by wanting to go somewhere to enjoy myself in a sane manner. Thanks for your advice.

Answer 1

OMG these people are so freaking rude! First off, if you wanna go to the club and have a good time than GO! it's not in poor taste or a hazard. You have every right to wanna have fun before the baby is born! And no they can't permit you from going in if your pregnant. I would say a drunk guy is more of a hazard than a pregnant woman.
Second these people are idiots. A lot of states have complete smoking bans and NOBODY can smoke inside any club bar or resturant.
Go have a good time and shake that preggo belly!

Answer 2

I think it would be in poor taste to go to the club. I remember attending a performance by the Philadelphia Orchestra while pregnant, and I was sitting up close. Well, my poor baby kicked and squirmed the whole time. Probably the sounds were unfamiliar to her, and VERY LOUD. Imagine how crazy it will be in a club. You have weirdos in one spot smoking God knows what, hoochie mama's throwing their fat azzes around, and what if they bump into you and knock you over? And remember, when your are preggy, your balance is off. I would suggest that you wait, and perhaps once your baby is born and you are back on your feet and have a routine down, that perhaps your girlfriends could treat you to a night out on the town, and your Mother could babysit. Wait. I know it's hard. My hubby and I loved to go dancing, but you put your baby first from the moment of conception. Pregnancy and parenting is the most unselfish, loving and most beautiful thing. Hang in there. Perhaps, another weekend, all of you guys could get together and have a girls night in, watch movies, eat fatty foods, give each other mani/pedis, do hair, etc... and just bond. I do know how you feel. But, just hang in there okay?

I would not recommend going~ You are a 'hazard' as your mum puts it~ Getting up on the dance floor what happens if you get knocked in the stomach? You say you jsut wanna have a good time with your friends _ Then go have a nice dinner, day at the beach~ Clubbing is too dangerous for your baby~ I alreayd mentioned hte knocking risk~ what about the inhale other peoples smoke thats dangerous too~

Think of your baby for this one~ and dont go~ There are otherways to have a nice night~

Answer 4

Whether or not they have to admit you can vary from state to state. If you do go, I would try to find a club that is not overly crowded and as others have said, I would closely watch your drink. If you end up leaving your drink for whatever reason, I would get a new one. You have to determine if you are feeling up to the occassion, if you are not then your friends should understand. There are some clubs that are smoke free if you can find one of these, it would be better than a smoke filled one. Just be careful and if at any time you feel uncomfortable or soemthing just doesn't feel right then leave.

Answer 5

I don't like the idea of the whole club thing, but just going to a quiet bar or pub I don't see the harm in. If your friends really want you to go then they should have no issues going to a sit down bar and just talking and having some laughs. If they want you to go actual clubbing then I would say that they are not looking out for you or your baby's best interest, because clubs pose more of a risk for you and your baby.

Answer 6

Girl, I'm 39 weeks pregnant and have been wanting to go so bad!! But there are hazards to you and your baby there. Other people will be smoking, people tend to fight at clubs and you or your baby could get hurt, people dancing could bump into you, and other than that people will stare at you and you will probably get some pervs messing with you about it. I would try and stay home. Best wishes and good luck!

i went to a friend huge house party when i was pregnant with my son. I knew this friend like 15 years it was at his house so i felt okay going. I was standing talking to someone this DRUNK GUY fell over on ME...knocked us both down. I WAS SO MAD IT WAS UNREAL. He got kicked out but still if i had it to do over I'd never have been where a drunk guy could have KILLED MY SON. I went swimming this pregnancy I'm 20 weeks i was so scared someone else swimming would kick me in the tummy some kids were being very active i just got out of the pool. If you do go you'll worry the whole time about getting knocked in the belly or pushed around in a DARK club someone might not se your belly or a wonderful drunk could knock you over fall on your baby you'll wanna KILL that guy don't go.

Answer 8

I went when I was pregnant! I was the disignated driver and got free pop and of course water. Just be extra careful, like don't leave your drink unatended, you don't want somebody slipping something in it and hurting you an/or your baby! I say have fun though, maybe even a pub? actually, i went to see a punk rock show when I was 8 months. I don't really give a **** if people want to look at me, who do they think they are anyway, angels?

Answer 9

Has it occurred to you that a smokey crowded dance floor is not the best environment for a pregnant woman? Second hand smoke is just as harmful as smoking yourself. Also, a misplaced elbow to your stomache probably isn't good for the baby. I think you need to accept the fact that you are pregnant and your life has to change.

Answer 10

Yeah, I don't think that they can actually prevent you from entering--unless you're acting intoxicated, which as a pregnant woman, I hope you wouldn't be...Although if conditions are really corwded, they may prevent you from entering just because crowd scenes can turn to chaos in a second with the wrong trigger and you could be jostled, bumped, (or worse) if everyone panicked in a tight area. If you really want to go, go. That's the one reason I could think of that they wouldn't allow it, though.
