Things to do in Boston when you're pregnant?
somunny:
My wife and I are heading to Boston for the weekend Friday. She's six months pregnant so we won't be doing the bar/club scene this time.
History/art suggestions? We're staying at the Westin - Copley Place.
Havoc:
Lets see this time of year:
The Boston Aquarium
Boston Common / Public Garden
Boston Pops / BSO
Museam of Science
Museam of Fine Arts
Boston Bruins
Faneuil Hall - Shops
Boston Ballet
North End / Restaurants - Italian / Pastries *** Highly reccomended
Back Bay Finer Dining
Around Copley and the Common are higher end / designer stores esp around Newbury st. You are also close to the prude / john hancock bldg. which you can get some great views of Boston
Theres a ton of stuff depending on what you want to do. My wife and I went into the city for the pumpkin festival lighting and our newborn dug it.

Good suggestions. I second the North End restaurants. You'll find Italian restaurants there that rival any in the US.
I'd also consider the USS Constitution or a Celtics game. The Patriots play an hour south of Boston (and about 5 minutes from my house).
One of my favorite things to do in Boston, and hella inexpensive, was to catch a Northeastern University hockey game. World class college talent in a tiny arena for only a few bucks a seat.
Faneuil Hall is a great place to eat, too. One of the best all around spots in Boston, great food, great shops. One of the oldest restaurants in the US is there.

This sounds a lot like North Beach in San Francisco. We'll put it at the top of the list.

Yes, local dining is always poular on our trips. :) The Constitution also sounds interesting. I believe we'll definitely hitting at least one museum, as well.
What about the Heritage/History (??) walk? We don't mind hoofing it and the cold doesn't bother us either. Just as long as it's not pouring outside.

Heres a nice site that covers a lot of restaurants in the NE area but the do a really good job of rating those in the Boston area depending on your tastes
