Louise Carron Harris

pregnant festival babyMum of two, Louise, helped to set Festival Kidz up with Romany.

She shared her festival exploits with us in guest blogs and, drawing on her vast festival experience, wrote about Glastonbury trips while pregnant, with newborns, and with toddlers.

Louise’s festival-style: Huge and awesome!  Glasto of course…!

Pregnant Festivalling Part 2

I was 16 weeks pregnant when we went to Camp Bestival. Now if my last pregnancy was anything to go by then I felt amazing at 16 weeks, in fact the whole second trimester was just wonderful for me and we went on a lovely holiday to Cornwall where we did a lot of walking. I had more energy and was able to eat normally again and started to glow. Read more…

Pregnant Festival Fashion

What to wear at festivals if you’re pregnant?

jester at v festival
Here is me at V2005 – I was hanging round the campsite at this point hence why I am wearing clumpy trainers and fetching socks!

Normally for a festival I don’t go in for the festival “fashion” that the magazines suggest. (Why, why, why would you ever wear a maxi dress to a festival?!  It’s probably the most impractical thing to wear apart from those dreadful playsuits!).

Now that I am pregnant again, I thought I’d better give a little thought to a good festival pregnancy outfit. (Click link for my other post on Pregnant FestivallingRead more…

Pregnant Festivalling Part 1

Many people would baulk in horror at the thought of going to a festival when pregnant, I however don’t see an issue with it at all. Maybe it’s because many of my fellow mummy friends (who have never been to a festival) think that I will be spending the weekend covered head to toe in mud, surrounded by drunk people and being bashed around in a mosh pit.

Going to a festival pregnant?

Beautiful body painting by Cree and Liz

Of course you can!…

… if you want to.  A lot will depend on how you feel, and on what stage of pregnancy you are at.

All the usual rules apply about eating, drinking, resting, smoking, etc so I’m not going to preach about all that to you.  But there are some things you should pay a little extra attention to.

Belly Painting – get into the spirit of fun and show of your gorgeous bump by getting it painted.  The Face Painters will love the opportunity to unleash their creativity on you and you will get some very memorable photos.

This gorgeous full-body paint was done at the Acoustic Festival 2011 by the immensely talented artists Cree from Creeations and Liz McAvoy from Flashy Faces.

We took our New Born Baby to Glasto!

We took a couple of weeks off from work after Arabella was born and headed to Glastonbury Festival with my husband Harry, daughter Constance Avalon, and our new born baby daughter Arabella Leah (not forgetting our 20 odd friends and my dad!).  ‘Mad’ is what most people called us, because I’d had an emergency c-section just 5 days before!
