A sea of heads stretches out into the distance
The vast stage is set with banks of massive speakers
Two giant screens will reflect the performers every movement
The lights dim and the crowd erupts in ecstasy
The drummer begins his rhythmic pulse, which echoes throughout the arena
Guitars twang and the vocalist grabs the microphone and belts out the lyrics
My body rocks rhythmically – then a ripple shoots across my abdomen
Kick, kick, kick, kick, kick
It is relentless, with every drum beat my little one kicks in harmony
The music stops to rapturous applause and cheering
My baby rests too… and I breathe a sigh of relief
Then the music starts, the kick, kick, kick, cycle continues
It never ceases throughout the whole two-hour concert
Finally the music stops and the band leave the stage
ENCORE, ENCORE the audience chants…
but I want it all to end, I can take no more!
The bands dashes back onto stage
Once again the crowd erupts with wolf whistling, screaming and cheering
Two more tracks and all the lights in the stadium flicker into life
The crowd flows out of the arena - a river of happy faces

This is a true account of a rock concert I attended when I was 8 months pregnant – it is not the best gig I ever went to BUT it is the most memorable … and my son grew up to adore rock music!
