I have a friend of mine who has a 5 month old baby..... She mentioned to me her body feels totally different and is wondering how long it would take for her body to get back? I told her from what I know around a year.... but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with pregnancy and post bellydance...... I think she is getting a little down because her body is different..... Thanx for any and all advice!

Re: BellyDance & Post Pregnancy
Tue, February 5, 2008 - 9:03 PMNo direct experience here but I have a few friends who were dancers before and either kept dancing or returned after. Many of them did feel there was a big difference. The return of feeling like it was before was different timeframes for each...depended on whether they kept dancing during pregnancy (less time), weight gain, natural versus Csection, and more.....seems to be pretty individualized from what I understand.....
Just keep encouraging her....it might be different but does not mean it is bad...just new with a new little baby too....so just keep her going!
