It seems that the 28-year-old girl does not even make much effort when doing tricks upside down.

Pole dancing, pole dance – you can call it whatever you like, but one thing will remain unchanged: the attitude toward this type of art. Many of us still consider it not a dance but something not very decent. And even if decent, it is in no way compatible with such a condition as pregnancy, as well as mini-skirts, stilettos, and stockings. However, 28-year-old Jade was not embarrassed by all this. She was engaged in pole dancing before pregnancy and continued.

Jade doubted her chances of conceiving at all. She was so obsessed with fitness and pole dancing that, at some point, her periods stopped due to too little body fat. Her gynecologist was sure: the girl is infertile, and her only chance to conceive is IVF. After all, she had not had regular periods since she was 15 years old. But fortunately, it turned out that Jade is not infertile. The girl took a break from exhausting workouts, relaxed her diet and regimen, gained a little weight, and, voila, she and her 34-year-old partner Nathan were expecting their first child.

And what about dancing? Quit? As soon as Jade realized that she was pregnant, she stopped training just in case. And then, when the doctors gave the go-ahead, she started dancing again, but not for 45 hours a week, but only once. In addition to pole dancing, Jade also practiced dancing on canvases, but carefully.

“I was very lucky that I did not have toxicosis, fatigue, or something like that. I think it’s just because of the training. I continued to perform until 17 weeks, but I made sure not to harm the baby. If there were dances on canvases, I took care of my stomach so that it would not be crushed. If there was any discomfort, she immediately stopped classes,” says Jade.

The doctors explained: Jade is in great shape, she is absolutely healthy, so there is no reason to quit dancing. On the contrary, if you abruptly abandon training, this can adversely affect her health.

“It was difficult to interrupt training to get my period back. I have always been passionate about dancing, from the age of 16, I danced professionally and even toured with the circus. I trained for 6 hours a day, and then the performances began, “says Jade.

The training didn’t really hurt her. In due time, Jade gave birth to a boy, who was named Maddox. He was born absolutely healthy and weighed 3900 grams at birth – an excellent weight.

And now Jade is back in shape after giving birth. During pregnancy, she still gained a few kilograms, despite all her athleticism and smarts.

And it seems that this habit of sports made itself felt in the postpartum period: Jade’s stomach tightened just before our eyes. See for yourself: after a week, it is almost invisible – and after all, not a single stretch!

“Physical activity and sports in a fitness mode, that is, non-professional, are certainly beneficial for both pregnant women and everyone else. If everything goes well and the obstetrician-gynecologist observing you does not mind, physical activity is only welcome.

But you need to follow a few rules.

Do not drastically change your lifestyle. If you didn’t exercise before pregnancy, then don’t start. In such cases, doctors simply recommend regular walks in the fresh air. If any sport has been a part of your life for a long time, then you should only modify your activities and reduce their intensity in the first and third trimesters. During the entire pregnancy, it is better to exclude exercises aimed at reducing the rectus abdominis muscles as well as lifting heavy objects (more than 5 kg).

In no case do not play sports if there is no physical strength and desire. This may be a signal that physical activity can cause harm.

A very good sport is swimming, as all muscle groups are involved. The main thing to pay attention to is personal hygiene in a public pool.

Any type of activity should be discussed with your doctor. In no case do you start training on your own.
