Some anthropologists believe that belly dancing is actually a ceremony to celebrate the birth of a baby. The doctor also pointed out that the abdomen of pregnant women will sway with belly dancing, which helps stabilize the delivery posture and can therefore play a role in assisting childbirth. So, what are the benefits of belly dancing for pregnant women?
Belly dance not only makes the whole body move, but also has good effects on weight loss and breast enhancement. Belly dance has health benefits, can regulate the body and mind, can also exercise more muscles.
Generally speaking, it is recommended that pregnant women should exercise in moderation, such as doing exercises that can increase pelvic flexibility, which is beneficial for delivery and early labor pains in the second stage of delivery. They believe that the way babies are born and the way women give birth are very important, so it is very important to prepare for childbirth.
For pregnant women, warm-up before belly dancing and relaxation after exercise are very important because during pregnancy, their bones and connective tissue become loose, and their joints are prone to injury. Exercise can also increase the body temperature of both the mother and the fetus, but because the fetus cannot dissipate heat on its own, it must rely entirely on the mother's regulatory ability. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid keeping themselves or the fetus in a hot environment all the time, and should not overwork themselves during belly dancing. Once they feel tired, they should rest appropriately.
Doctors believe that vigorous jumping exercises should not be done during pregnancy, but some soothing exercises can still be done. As long as it does not cause muscle fatigue, there will be no problem, but it must be done under the guidance of professionals.
However, it should be noted that pregnant women should avoid certain movements in belly dancing, such as sharp buttocks and toe movements that appear in belly dancing.
