I've never shot a gun before and neither has my bf but he's a gun boy lol with all those modernwarfare games it's not hard to believe. His birthday is coming up and I wanna take him to one of those gun stores here in Vegas that let you shoot machine guns and all that. would it be too loud or maybe stressful on my baby? It seems silly to me but I want to be sure.

I went hunting from when I got pregnant until I was 16 weeks my doctor said to stop at 16 weeks cause the baby's ear drums were about developed, I also shot a shotgun around 14 weeks, and my baby was fine you could ask your doctor if anything is wrong with you shooting a gun cause mine said it was okay until 16 weeks :)

I figured XD haha I was only gonna try a little glock or something

You will def want to not shoot a shotgun until after baby. Too much kickback especially if it's your first time :)

[Lilseamonkey]

Haha I really wanna shoot one! I have a good eye with those old arcade games with the Forrest animal statues in the background and a big shot gun! I love it

[Ashdub07]

:) I find any excuse to shoot our guns but I have been turned away from several ranges for being knocked up lol

[Lilseamonkey]

Ah ok ill play it safe then, maybe next year. I'd rather not take the chance at my Baby's sake lol thanks!

At 16 weeks loud noises can startle your baby. A gun is not like going to a concert it can startle the baby and can send it into distress. I am a gun advocate. Many places won't let a preggo shoot guns or be in the range. Call ahead and ask

[Lilseamonkey]
