Ok so here I am 8 months pregnant, with twins none the less, and not able to do much in regards to going out on dates with my hubby. So he has started wanting to take me out to the movies since i cant do concerts, rodeos, museums, or anything where I'm out in the heat or needed to walk. My first thoughts are great I can see where hes coming from and yes we do still need to get out just the two of us from time to time but I see loud booming volumes and being stuffed in a seat for 2 hours or more and runs to the bathroom not so fun. But I decided to go for it there was an action flick and a comedy about pregnancy coming out that I really wanted to go see so we did and we went to 2 different theatres to see how things were as far as being comfy and able to handle.
I won't list the names of the theatres but one is in my town its always been my fave movie theatre since we moved here because I'm a frugal momma and you can actually still go here and see new movies for just 2.00/person if you go to the matinee and that's unheard of in regards to prices these days. Hubby had his pick of new action movie and we were off. Sure its not fancy and new like the other theatre we went to the seats are years old and don't do any fancy reclining or anything but it was nice and cool while we were in there and I have to say my movie trip was pleasant. It was in 3D and looked and sounded great I will say for the first half of the movie my babies were moving nonstop due to the sound being so loud I was giggling and feeling them wondering what they were thinking because were in the dark which is usually quiet time but nope no quiet to be had during awesome fighting scenes today.
The next movie I wanted to see was a chick flick and comedy and was pretty funny I gasped in disbelief on some of the things that happened and laughed at others because it was so typical of pregnancy. This movie wasn't showing my usually theatre so we drove to the next town over where it was showing in the big new fancy theatre which is maybe a year old now. Cost is through the roof but lucky us we get a military discount so that took the edge off a bit. My husband thought wed like it better because the seats recline and they did even the arm in between us came up and moved out of the way so you can sit closer or in my case turn my body sideways to shift my weight a few times. Movie was fine but this theatre experience was no fun yes it had new fancy seats but not so good on a pregnant woman who cant lean back because the pressure on my spine cuts off my blood flow, the seats sure did recline and to my astonishment they leaned back no matter what you did I didn't have the option to sit straight up at all I ended up having to scoot up and sit at the end of the seat and just sit straight up hoping everyone behind me could still see. Then my back would start hurting so id have to sit back for a few minutes before sitting back up to catch my breath I spent the 2 hours constantly shifting my big belly weight around and fanning myself because guess what...it was hot in there! I'm used to it being cold or close to freezing in theatres but not this one had to get a cup of ice to eat just to make it through.
So theres my experience or review on movie going while in third trimester maybe the big new theatre with its lounging seats arnt as good as an idea as the good ol theatre with seats you sit straight up in at least its supporting your back for a couple hours. Either way I say give into your cravings and enjoy a box of candy in my case Junior Mints for me how about you?
