There have been a number of women, most belly dancers themselves,
who have made the correlation between this dance and childbirth
A woman who is having a normal, healthy pregnancy should be perfectly capable of continuing her belly dancing throughout the term. Of course, you should check with your doctor to be sure, but as long as your doctor says it's safe for you to get low-impact, moderate exercise, then belly dancing should be fine.
You probably won't want to practice vigorous drum solos with aggressive hip snaps during... your eighth month, and moves involving twisting of the hips might be uncomfortable, but listen to your doctor and apply common sense. Listen to your body and avoid any moves that feel "wrong". In truth, continuing your dance might actually be beneficial! Some women have reported that selected belly dance moves such as figure 8's and hip circles were helpful during labor! So stay involved with the dance, and continue enjoying your classes.
Benefits of bellydance during pregnancy
Some doctors encourage the practice of belly dance during pregnancy, which they think provides the following benefits:
◦ Strengthening pelvic and deep abdominal muscles and all those muscles specifically used for giving birth, thus facilitating the process of delivering and of recovery.
◦ Relaxing the body.
◦ Improving self esteem.
◦ Promote good posture.
◦Help maintain general fitness.
◦ Help maintain a god sense of balance.
◦ Relieve back ache.
◦ Promote socialisation, if performed in classes.
