Do Pregnant women belong in a club?

[Ocklawaha]

If she's in the club, she probably spent more time picking out her shoes than she did picking the father of her child...

I don't believe I'd of said that brother!

Conversely could it be that someone like you caused the condition and she was at the club simply to lose the implied guilt?

Why the double standard? Wouldn't the same be true of a man who gets sexually irresponsible after a few drinks in the club?

^^Ock, seriously? What a bunch of crap. Yeah, it's the bars' fault for providing an avenue for her to lose her inhibitions and let anybody knock her up. And yeah, it's the bars' fault for man being man. Give me a break. You know what? It's always somebody else's fault. My point was that, if she's prego and she's still hanging out at the club, her future child is low on her list of priorities, just like choosing the father of her child was. 

Personal responsibility? Doesn't exist anymore.

I prefer when you talk about trains.

Sorry that the woman in question is not a train RockStar. The fact is you apparently don't know her but have already suggested that she is a poor example or worse a poor mother for being in a club and... shock of all shocks... DANCING!
My whole point being what gives you or anyone else the right to condemn her moral standing in the community just because she was there?

Unborn babies hear sounds and respond to them, and pregnant mothers need exercise to stay in good health, sounds like a recipe to go dancing to me. Even if she was shitfaced drunk, I'd still question the circumstances that led her to such a dangerous condition before I started heaping blame on her.

Pregnancy is as natural as rain, but for some reason, our freethinking members of MJ have decided to go 'Quaker' on this woman. Could the answer be this is fallout from the Jehovah's Witness convention being held in Gainesville?

The question was asked, 'Who would hit on a pregnant woman?' I've got to say I don't get it? If I were still single and in my twenties or thirties, I would have ZERO problem asking her out, if it led to a more serious relationship I'd be cool with that too. Wedding bells? I wouldn't be married to her condition, I'd be married to HER, heart, soul and mind. That baby, whoever the father was, would be part of her and would be loved accordingly.

Well, when you're about to be a Mom that newborn needs you 100 percent and I don't know if beginning a relationship should be a priority. It goes both ways. Would you be ready to instantly accept that position? Her life is about to change, especially if it's her first. You'd want to just jump in there with her? Dating someone with kids doesn't seem like a problem, because at least time has gone by. A pregnant, single woman though? I don't know.

I thought the question was whether pregnant women belong in a dance club.

I don't know any guy in his right mind who'd hit on an obviously pregnant girl.
Although, some possible pick up lines:

"Hey babe, you've got a nice glow..."
"Are you lactating or just happy to see me?"
"Hey, since you can't get pregnant twice, wanna go back to my place?"
"Can I buy you a drink? She'll have a water, double Jack rocks for me..."
"Who's your daddy?" (looking at belly)



Have a fun 4th all....prego or not!

Me too.  If she is simply dancing and socializing what is the harm?  Taverns, pubs, bars, clubs have been centers of social interaction since invented.  Why should a pregnant woman cut herself off from friends simply bcause she is pregnant?  Give me a break... If she is drinking... that is another question ENTIRELY.  Would you disapprove if she danced alone at home? sheesh...

It was, but hey! Topics breed other topics, I guess. By the way, HAHAHA! Priceless pick-up lines

Thanks Tam-B!

This is like "should pregnant women drive cars".

One would hope the women who go out to clubs while pregnant understand any risk and would hopefully avoid drinking. If she can handle all the super judgmental people who obviously think the world is too dangerous for pregnant women to enjoy themselves, then by all means.

I personally wouldn't serve an obviously pregnant woman in regards to my own personal ethics. And, I would frown upon a pregnant woman walking into a bar or club in which smoking is allowed. But, it's that woman's decision. Not your's. Not anyone else's (except the dad. He should have a say if he decides to be involved).

Anything and everything is considered "risky" or "dangerous" when a woman is pregnant. Too much this, not enough that.

I say, it's none of your business or mine. That won't stop people from judging a pregnant woman who decides to have fun.

(Oh no! She's growing a human, 24/7, which means her body is no longer her's whatsoever and she MUST do every last little thing from how she chews her food to denying herself enjoyment for the baby, because she'll probably hurt it if she doesn't take care of it - she doesn't matter, only the baby!)

Just saying, a woman's emotional well-being while pregnant is pretty important. Not just protecting the baby and such. BTW, babies are as strong as platinum (metaphorically) while in the womb after the first trimester. Just sayin'.

My cousin's wife tells a story of being out with a friend and their spouses
in some establishment in Alachua County years ago.
Both of the women were very pregnant, but while their husbands were not present,
men would ask if they were with anyone.
Her reply? "Yeah, we're with child...".,

Having an opinion on a topic and asking what others think isn't acting as if you're trying to make something "your business" Like I said before, when I spotted a very pregnant lady in a club/bar/restaurant I didn't frown at her, shake my head at her, scream "Pregnant girl in the room!" or demand she go home right now and strap herself to her bed. I just found it a tad amusing and interesting, which led to my desire on finding out what others thought of it.

Just saying!

I think you're right on, as far as this goes. Hit the nail on the head.

I gotta get the name of that club!
