HS,
lol! my hubby also banned me initially during my first pregnancy. but i got my way lah. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] watched some horror shows, harry potter re-runs, discovery channel, animal planet etc. all these are old wives tales so don't have to be so superstitious 'cos all proven not true.
our body is also very smart, in the sense that it creates a very safe place for baby to grow in, surrounded by amniotic fluid. baby won't hear very much of the noises outside. even if the noise were so loud it hurts our ears, baby will still be very safe in there! when preggers with my girl, i went to KTV, pubs and bars with live band many times. the church i attend every week is also quite loud. i heard many ppl say if u expose your unborn child to such noisy environments, baby will be able to cope better with loud noises when they are born. and it's true that after i gave birth, my girl can sleep literally anywhere! even till now, loud noises don't scare her, not even the thunder. she can pull down pots and pans making my mom jump but she was happily banging them away and didn't even flinch.
jasmine,
