Crowds, noise, fatigue, heat… Concerts raise several questions when you are expecting a child. In a video published by
XXL KindergartensAnna Roy explains the precautions to take and recalls an often overlooked point: music can also have beneficial effects during pregnancy.
Nine months of pregnancy does not necessarily have to rhyme with renunciation
Summer is synonymous with outdoor parties, festivals and concerts. However, when you are pregnant, the desire to participate in these events is often accompanied by a multitude of questions. Are vibrations dangerous? Can noise reach the baby? Do crowd movements represent a risk?
So many questions that push some future mothers to give up, out of caution, these festive appointments. But according to midwife Anna Roy, there is no general ban.
In a video published on July 20, 2026 by XXL Kindergartensshe wants to be reassuring: attending a concert or a festival is entirely possible during pregnancy, provided you adapt your behavior and remain attentive to certain situations.
The two risks that should not be underestimated
The main danger comes not from the music itself, but from the environment.
First point of vigilance: crowd movements. Anna Roy is very clear: “Watch out for the pits!”. These very dense spaces, where spectators are crowded together and where jostling is frequent, increase the risk of falling or hitting the stomach. It is better to favor quieter locations, where it is possible to move around easily and move away quickly if necessary.
The second element concerns the sound volume. Here again, the specialist invites you to use common sense. “Don’t go sticking to the speaker either.”she recommends. Prolonged exposure to very high sound levels can be uncomfortable for the mother and it is best to keep a reasonable distance from the speakers.
Added to these tips are the classic precautions for pregnancy in summer: hydrate well, avoid standing for long periods of time in high heat, take regular breaks and do not hesitate to leave the premises at the slightest discomfort.
Music, a pleasure that can also do good
If some future mothers fear that concerts will be harmful for their babies, Anna Roy reminds on the contrary that music has many positive effects.
“On the contrary, music is excellent for adults and fetuses alike.she says.
For several years, various research studies have focused on the effects of music during pregnancy. They suggest that it can help reduce maternal stress, promote relaxation and contribute to the emotional well-being of the future mother. By reducing stress levels, it also creates a calmer environment for the baby’s development.
Of course, it is not a miracle therapy, but a moment of pleasure which contributes to overall well-being, an aspect far from trivial during these nine months.
Enjoy the summer… while also listening to your body
Every pregnancy is different. Some women experience these nine months without difficulty, while others have to deal with more fatigue, early contractions or special medical monitoring.
Before planning a long evening or a festival over several days, it is therefore prudent to discuss it with your doctor or midwife, who will be able to give advice adapted to each situation.
Pregnancy does not necessarily mean putting your life on hold. With a few precautions, choosing a quiet location, staying away from speakers, avoiding crowds and respecting your limits often allows you to continue sharing these moments of conviviality. After all, these memories of a summer spent as a threesome sometimes begin well before birth.
