If you can find a pediatrician that isn't a complete bleeding heart liberal, you might could ask him.

 

[The Mayor]

Girls in the USAF (Security Forces) not the rest of the AF once they become pregnant they don't fire, but they still carry up until 6 or 7 months.

Just realized you're a fellow Gyrene!
Hell - we even both have signatures that are quotes from Lt. Gen. Mattis.

Semper Fi, Mac!

My wife is in that condition and has stopped shooting for now.

P.S. I wouldnt get your medical advice from here.

Girlfriend just had a baby and our Doc said absolutely not, indoor or outdoor. Loud bang + developing ear drums= No bueno.

Very bad idea. Burned chemicals, vaporized lead and loud concussive noises are no-no's. Your OB will confirm.

 

[Steve M]

Outdoors is OK, until 15 weeks is OK, after that little eardrums are formed and vulnerable.

I think I'd stay away from ANYTHING that might have an effect on my kid. I'd vote NO.

The thing is even if 99.99% ok in most cases if you do go out shooting and there is ANYTHING wrong with the child you'll look back and blame yourself.

I CAN HELP!
You might want to tell her that it's not recommended. The loud noises might keep the child from getting any sleep while in the womb. When it's born, he/she might be a little cranky.
Tell your wife shooting isnt recommended, but cooking is. Make up some crap like, " Taking cooking classes will make the kid happy and born with a smile on it's face". " Tell her that she needs to take out trash herself in order to start training the kid to do it as early as possible". " Recommend she clean out the garage to prepare the child for the task when it become an adult". " Start mowing the yard during pregnancy to help build the childs immunity against alergins".

Im not married, but I think Dr. Phil would agree this stuff could help.

i was going to take my daughter when she was pregnant but smoke vapors etc changed
my mind

 

[Mtn44]

I agree. We are on our second baby and she stopped shooting when we found out. Too much risk with the soundwaves and developing ear drums. I already ruined mine and don't want to take that risk.

 

[Texan2]

Im not married...

Why am I not surprised?

I agree, why take a chance? you could end up with a kid like Redneck!!
