Car parks and pregnancy

mhoney · #1 20-05-2010, 10:31 AM

Does anyone know in what order the marshalls fill the car parks? Or does it change each year? This prob sounds like an odd question, but because I am pregnant and because of where me and my friends hope to camp, it would be ideal for us to park in E1 or E2 so there is as little walking with heavy rucksacks as possible for the big fatty pregnant lady!

Also, any advice from ladies who have attended the festival while pregnant in previous years would be lovely.
Thanks.

the National Childbirth Trust have people at glasto. They even have a midwife on site. One lady went into labour at last years festival, went to the hospital had her baby and then mum and babba came back for the sunday.

Fair play to that woman i say!
Maybe you could contact NCT and ask them any questions.
sorry i'm not much help but my baby days are well and truely over lol.

Well hopefully I won't be going into labour while there!! I'll only be 23 weeks at the time of the festival (with twins though!) so I hope to keep them in there for a while longer.
Was worried that being so pregnant may be a problem, especially if its rainy and muddy (not being able to sit down at the stages would be a nightmare) but you have inspired me with the story of the lady from last year!

Thanks for the tip - will look out for the NCT and locate the midwife to say hello.

The NCT are based in the kidz field, just behind the pyramid stage. Im sure even if it is a wet one (it wont be though) you will be fine, obviously there would be places you need to avoid. All the best x
