[QUOTE="SteelBanger, post: 1891487, member: 112192"] This is very anecdotal so take it for what it is - my wife was 29 weeks pregnant when we went shooting, some .22lr, .223, and a little .308. The next day her water broke at work and we were taken by ambulance to the nearest childrens hospital an hour away. My wife spent the next 2 weeks laying in a hospital bed while they tried to keep my son happy and in the womb. That effort ended and he was born prematurely at 31 weeks by C-section and spent 5 weeks in the NICU. Thank the good Lord he had no major complications or issues due to being premature, but he did develop a condition while in the NICU that was life threatening had it not been quickly identified and treated. After the fact all the doctors told us that the shooting shouldn't have caused my wife's water to break and shooting is safe while pregnant, but I'm not convinced. I don't think the recoil is any issue, it's the sound concussion that makes me raise an eyebrow. He turns 7 in 15 days and is perfectly healthy and crazy like any 7 year old boy should be. Greatest blessing of my life! [/QUOTE]
