Introduction
Pregnant women can attend a baby's one-month celebration as long as their health condition is stable, without any discomfort, and proper protective measures are taken. The environment of such gatherings is generally mild and usually does not pose adverse effects on the pregnant woman or fetus. However, if the pregnant woman has a high-risk pregnancy or experiences discomfort such as abdominal pain or dizziness during or after the event, she should seek medical attention promptly.

It is generally safe for pregnant women to attend a baby's one-month celebration, provided their health condition is stable, without any discomfort, and proper precautions are taken. The environment of such gatherings is usually mild and unlikely to negatively affect the pregnant woman or the fetus. However, if a pregnant woman has a high-risk pregnancy or experiences abdominal pain, dizziness, or other discomfort during the event, she should seek medical attention promptly.

A pregnant woman’s physical condition is key when deciding whether to attend. The second trimester is often ideal, as fetal development is more stable and energy levels are higher, making it suitable for participating in gentle social events. However, women in the first trimester—who face a higher risk of miscarriage—or those in late pregnancy who may have mobility issues or pregnancy complications—should carefully assess their own condition and avoid overexertion.

When attending, ensure the venue is well-ventilated and avoid areas with smokers or large crowds to reduce the risk of viral infections. Avoid standing or sitting for prolonged periods; take regular breaks to relieve physical fatigue. Choose light, easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, or unhygienic meals to prevent gastrointestinal discomfort.

Attend the celebration according to your physical capacity. Plan your trip in advance to minimize travel stress, wear loose and comfortable clothing and shoes, and maintain a relaxed mood. If you feel tired, find a quiet place to rest promptly, ensuring the safety of both yourself and your baby.
