My wife is 3 months pregnant and we have tickets to see Trans-Siberian-Orchestra today, is this safe?

I have read mixed reviews that loud music is not good for a baby. Is this factual or could it put the child at serious risk?

    University Of Florida Research Adds To Evidence That Unborn Children Hear 'Melody' Of Speech

    Gerhardt said he began researching fetal hearing in response to inquiries from law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Navy. Both were concerned about how loud noises, such as gunfire or the rumble of a ship's engine, could affect the hearing of babies being carried by pregnant servicewomen.

    Even loud rock concerts are probably not noisy enough to pose a threat to fetal hearing development, Gerhardt said. The research, which has received more than $1 million from the Navy, the National Institutes of Health and the March of Dimes, contributed to federal workplace safety guidelines that today limit the duration of extremely loud noise exposure for pregnant women.

    I don't think the baby can even hear yet. Yet another question that pertains to the question I just asked. You should check it out. I'm pretty sure it's fine.

    That's a new one. I honestly don't see any problem with your wife attending this concert. My folks went to rock shows when my mom was in her first trimester with me, and I turned out OK... in a matter of speaking. ;)
