Don't worry I was teaching my pre-natal class and it was awesome. I had 6 pregnant girls who had never belly danced before come to a class for the first time. It was so inspirational to teach and share my personal story of belly dancing. I danced all the way through my first pregnancy and into labor in the hospital and now planning to dance all the way through with this little bundle. Now hopefully I will have as easy and natural of a delivery as I did with the first one, even if this one is 10 days late as well. With out belly dance and the inspiration of my amazing pre-natal belly dance instructor Stefanie Masters, I would be lacking a lot of strength, knowledge, and an internal calmness. Belly Dance is and was an important part of both my pregnancies and deliveries. It helped me personally to get rid of carpal tunnel, pain from pinched nerve (sciatica), get rid of all my lower back pain, to understand my contractions, and helped me in labor and so much more. May God bless all the pregnant belly dancers with wonderful pregnancies and easy labors (mine too please:) ) Suzy Swearingen D.F.T.S.
