Belly Dancing During Pregnancy
For the longest time, I have been toying with the idea of going on belly dancing classes. Kinda different to the usual salsa, and Ballroom dance classes, everyone seems to be keen on nowadays. From what I've read, belly dancing is also a great form of exercise for pregnant women. Not only does it give you a good cardio work-out, the moves required also tone and strengthen the pelvic and abdominal muscles, as well as the back and leg muscles, which are important in maintaining good posture, particularly during the latter phases of pregnancy when your "baggage" in front becomes too heavy. Of course, there will be moves and steps which may no longer be appropriate as your pregnancy progresses, so listen to your body, your doctor and your dancing coach.

Is belly dancing while pregnant something for you? Shira has some more pointers on the pros and cons, precautions and everything else you need to know about belly-dancing during pregnancy.
