You are going to a small intimate affair (keeping in compliance with Covid 19 guidelines) Wait!! I’m pregnant-can I dance?
Dancing is a safe and fun way to exercise during pregnancy. If dancing is new to you, it’s best to stick to a dance that doesn’t involve jumping and isn’t too strenuous. Consult with your physician or midwife that you’re dancing and exercising during pregnancy! Not only do you get to move your body to music you love, but it will keep you flexible while toning your muscles. You can get a cardiovascular workout from any fast paced dance, or stretch and maintain muscle tone when you hold positions in yoga or ballet. For the average pregnant woman, dancing and aerobic activity is safe during pregnancy. Pregnancy is not a disease and women should feel comfortable being active. If something hurts, don’t do it!!!!!
If I dance can it cause a miscarriage?
The pregnancy separates from the uterus and passes out of the body. Miscarriage is not caused by the activities of a healthy pregnant woman, such as jumping, vigorous exercise and vaginal intercourse. However, it is recommended to be gentle. Trauma causes miscarriage only very rarely unless the impact to the abdomen occurs >12 weeks of pregnancy when the uterus rises out of the pelvis. Stress and emotional shock do not cause miscarriage either. When you are doing movements you should try to keep both feet on the floor because it is easier for a pregnant person to lose her balance because the growing abdomen shifts the center of gravity forward. If you do fall by chance you or hit your abdomen, you should go to the hospital immediately and contact your physician or midwife. Always check with your provider if dancing and or exercises is permitted for you . Each and every pregnancy is different and each and every person’s body is different. What’s good for one person may not be good for another person! Be safe and have fun. Happy New Years !!

Your baby is producing adequate pees and poos . Your breasts are producing a lot of milk. The baby has a good latch on and you are positioning your baby correctly using body to body with the baby in proper ailment. You are feeding on demand. However, baby wants to be feed every 15 to 20 minutes continuously. Why is this baby so hungry? You can not eat, sleep or do anything but feed the baby. It’s like you are a 24 hour restaurant.
Question: • Is this normal and called clustered feeding? • Do you need to take this baby to the Pediatrician? • Do you need to try and produce more milk? • Should you try to change your feeding pattern ?
Note- their is two correct answers. Anytime you have concerns always check with your Pediatrician.
A Study by ACOG – American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists – suggest that first-time mothers are more likely to have a normal delivery if they take a childbirth class.
The Birthing Center of NY childbirth classes presented by Nurse Jackie, gives mothers the skills needed to have a normal delivery and properly take care of their babies and themselves. As nurse Jackie says “babies Do Come With Instructions”
Reuters (1/24, Chander) reported, “First-time mothers who take childbirth classes are more likely to have normal deliveries without interventions, a small study suggests.” The study, published in the International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics, “compared more than 300 women who gave birth to a first child at an Israeli medical center,” and “researchers found that those who took a series of classes on the experience of childbirth, pain management and postpartum issues were more likely to have normal vaginal deliveries and less likely to have vacuum extraction used during their delivery.”
