If you're happy and healthy, why should a little thing like a giant baby bump slow you down if you like to shake it?
These 10 ladies kept their both their bumps and rumps dancing right up until labour and delivery... sometimes trying to INDUCE delivery... and, well, sometimes well into labour and delivery, too.
There's a lot of time to pass before your baby lands in your arms, so you may as well have a sense of humour about it.
Gentle exercise is important to keep up as long as you've got your doctor's approval to do so. So keep limber and entertained by wiggling those hips!
Walking long distances might be pretty tiring later on, but you're going to be bored by immobility and there's only so much TV one can watch.
Get up and dance around the house, baby mama!
38 weeks will come and you'll be like, AWESOME. Any time now!
But while it's technically term, doctors will still tell you a longer wait in the womb is better, as long as everything's still progressing fine. So keep your spirits up. You might have a week or two... or three... to go.
You might personally feel like a beached whale sometimes, but don't let that stop you from dancing for your partner.
Your partner will still think you're a goddess.
Don't let it stop you from dancing WITH your partner either.
It's important to keep your relationship healthy with some intimacy, and that doesn't mean it has to result in sexytimes. Just stay close. Although... perhaps not with disco.
And don't let pregnancy stop you from doing what you love.
Pole dancing? Yep, this fitness instructor is still swinging at 10 months.
You've created a brand new human being! That should make you the most confident, sexiest person alive.
So don't let the timeline get you down. Roll with it.
It's a long ride, mama. You might try to dance Thriller to induce, but results not guaranteed.
Baby will come when it's ready, and not one moment before! But we won't blame you for trying all the things that they said might induce labour. We sure did.
Finally the day is here! But wait, why stop dancing just because you're in labour?
Shake your tootsie roll right through those contractions, mama, and get that baby headed south.
And who says you have to be stuck in the suite?
If you don't have an epidural in, why lay around for hours when you can dance down the hall? Hey, gotta pass the time somehow!
Good luck, mama!
