Congratulations to you blessed people, expecting new lives.
>From an Anatomy/Physiology standpoint, drumming should be safe, as long as
you're mindful of your condition and posture.  It would be best to have your
drum in a stand or otherwise supported, rather than strapped to your belly.
     But, before I would follow the advice of our fellow listers or master
drummers, I would consult your doctor, and explain to him the mechanics of
drumming on your body, and see what s/he thinks.  Your doctor will know
best.

Blessings for you and your children,
