It was funny - alieblue was actually the most hardcore of our whole group. I think because she was so conscious of drinking enough water, eating proper meals, taking naps whenever possible, reapplying sunscreen. She stayed up later than everyone else on Saturday!

My wife and I went to bonnaroo 2006 and she was 5.5 months pregnant. Just be concious, it's really not a big deal. Be smart, keep hydrated and fed, don't exhaust yourself, if you feel tired then nap. We had a blast, as we always do.

I've been to three roo's cant' say I recall many pregnant women saw quite a few on there way to being there though . All I can say is be safe take your tome and depending on how far along she will be and how hot and sticky it is you will have to step and fetch it that much faster. Good luck amd above all congradulations on enterring the misery, joy, life long journey called parenthood .

I was unknowingly pregnant during bonnaroo last year, but my best advice is to drink lots and lots of water, keep cool, and try to nap some throughout the day. Don't over do it!
I wouldn't recommend going to bonnaroo if your further along like near the end of your pregnancy, like around 6 or 7 months just because the heat is so intense and the conditions can be harsh, plus I'm a worrier lol
I am hoping to be pregnant at Bonnaroo too! If all goes well at my next few Doc appointments I'll be joining you in the moms-to-be club this year at Roo.
Honestly, Bonnaroo was great for me. My friend Tiffany and I were the only two who made it through Kanye... I took lots of naps, I didn't sweat it if I missed a show I wanted to see and saved up the reserves for the really really important shows. I saw women farther along in their pregnancies there... if you keep to the shade, spend time at camp napping and staying cool and keep hydrated I think one could easily do Roo through the second trimester!

Without going into detail, my wife and I are about to have a baby that was technically conceived @ Bonnaroo 2008. The reason I say technically, is beacause the committing act occurred Thursday before arriving. You gotta figure that actual conception probably occurred Thursday night / Friday morning @ Bonnaroo. I hope that wasn't too much.
I read something today that I found interesting. Since the docs count from the last menstrual period, you are technically pregnant before you even have the sex that gets you pregnant! It's mind-blowing!
Pstyle or it's called "freshette" sold at REI. Best camping tool for women all around. Plus pregnant mommas have to pee alot!
sold where?
I'm not pregnant but I stumbled upon this thread and I DO have a problem with port-o-potties. I've been trying to figure something like this out. Are these "Freshette" and Pstyle things for real? Where can you get them?

I bought my freshette from REI, but I have to tell you that I did not have a good experience with it.

aw, man! I was hoping to not broadcast this highly embarrassing story. But for the benefit of others...
I tried using it when I reeeeeally had to go and there was significant overflow. Had to go back to the tent immediately to change. Not fun. Because it's a funnel, it first collects in the top part and then goes down. And the funnel part isn't that big. So if you aren't thinking (you know, like me), there can be spillage.
The pStyle just directs the flow away from your body, doesn't collect it first. I know, it seems weird. But you can practice in the shower first to get the hang of it.

Ahhh - that makes sense - i would not have thought about that - so thank you for sharing your embarassing story - I just thought the freshette looked more containing - I looked at the pstyle and figured I would end up peeing on myself
