ok, so my birthday is coming up, and my parents said i could go to a concert as my present. This is great, because 2 of my favorite bands (MCR and wolfmother) are doing concerts a few weeks after my birthday.
Now, my moms pregnant, and her due date is May 1st. Both concerts are within a week of her due date. Shes paranoid that while me and my dad are at a concert, she's going to have the baby. Now she wont let me go to either. I dont think she'll have the baby then because me and my 2 sisters were all born 2 weeks early.
So, should i just get over it or should my mom trust probability? Any other suggestions?

How far away is the concert from where you live???If its in the same city then I dont see a problem with you guys going. Its not like you couldnt just leave the concert. It would be the same as if dad was at work and you were at school. If the concert is not really close then can u go with a friend??

Im a mom and a mother to be. I think she is being selfish. Its not all about her.
You didnt tell her to get pregnant with another baby. If she went into labor, your dad could meet her there, or you could just take a friend. She is not going to have the baby in a couple of hours im sure. I labor 27-37 hours..... Im sure your mom can labor 2-3 hours by herself before dad gets there. If she isnt induced it goes rather slow at first.
Pregnant woman are not helpless Im high risk and I still see that my kids go, and do what makes them happy. If i was due, when my son had something important to him, I would send my son to have a good time with someone i trusted, and I would call an ambulance if i could not drive myself.
I drove myself to the hospital when I had my 6 yr old. You can do anything you put your mind too. My children want to be with me when I have this baby but I told them that was up to them. They didnt have too but I would allow it. My son is 15, daughter is 6

How about you sit down with your mom and dad and come up with a plan for the night of the concerts....ask your mom how much notice she will get beftween starting labor and having the baby. 12 hours is average so maybe a bleeper on vibrate in your pocket at the concert would still let you get to her in plenty of time in the unlikely event of her going into labor.

Wow youre in a tight situation. Well how about you and your mom agree to something else? Maybe instead of you going to the concert you can get money for your birthday? Or something else that u really like besided going to the concert? Hope Im of some help

Can someone else take you to the concert? That seems like the best solution so Dad is at home in case Mom goes into labor. Mom can keep her promise to you.

I don't see why you should miss the concerts maybe you can get a friend to go with you? Or maybe if your dad goes your mom could have a friend or another close releative stay with her. I can understand her being paranoid but I don't think she should be. By the way...happy birthday.

i can see both sides here. its very hard for both of you. is there an uncle or a family friend who could take you. and also how far is the concerts from your home. if they are not too far your dad could take a phone with him or a pager in his pocket. i know he wouldnt hear it but if he kept in his pocket it could vibrate. try talking it over with them n see if anything else could be worked out. i bet your parents do feel upset for having to let you down when u are obviously so excited. good luck and happy birthday for ur special day

well as a soon to be mom, I can see how she doesnt want you to go!! But as a teen I can see how you want to go to this concert!! . I would say that you should go to the concert with a friend, or someone else your mom trusts and let your dad stay at home with her!! if she DOES go into labor you can be easily contacted at your concert and whoever you are with can take you to the hospital.. chances are even if she does go into labor during your concert.. you cant be in the delievery room.. but your dad can ... so run that by her, ask her if you can still go just not with your dad... even go as far as asking who she will feel comfortable with you going with!

It's not like she is all the sudden pregnant if she is due May 1st. You knew about this for a while. Ask her if you could have a friends parents take you or something.

ask your mom if another trusted adult like a family member could take you, i can totally see where shes coming from and im sorry you have to suffer but pregnant women over look alota things so maybe she hasnt thought of someone else taking you, ask her about. just be open with her about everything and your feeling but dont do it with an attitude. congrats to your mom and happy bday
