The loud noise from gunshots is completely different from monster trucks and loud music. You should ask your dr about it. I was told not to.

My boyfriend enjoys shooting (being a vet) about 2 weeks ago he took me to the range when I got there they immediately told me I couldnt shoot. He said the lous noises next ti the belly affects the babies ear development and such.  I dont know how close u are to the gun or anything but you might want to do some research on ear development since they are sossensitive now

I've never heard that... Just the noise may startle them. I'm almost 29 weeks and still go shooting. My doctor says it's fine as long as you don't shoot something too powerful that'll make you fall.
