Tiffany,

you will probably need to give up the dancing at some point in the pregnancy. Since you are already dancing and your body is used to it, you will probably be able to continue for the first few weeks, but as your belly grows, it will be difficult to continue. Some women have balance problems as they put on weight with pregnancy and their hips expand, so that would make it dangerous for jumping and bending.

Talk to the other women in your company about how they handled pregnancy and ask your doctor for his recommendations as well.

Hello, I am a dancer (not professionally) but with national company, outside of an office 9 - 5 job. If I get pregnant, will I have to stop dancing? Dancing includes ballet, modern, hip hop, jazz - plies... I mean knee bends, leaps, jumps.. that kind of thing. Let me know your thoughts on how much toning down of exercise would be required.

Concerned Daughter, for some pregnant woman, any exercise or certain movements can be dangerous, that's why some women are restricted to bed rest. Even something as easy as gentle yoga can be harmful under some conditions. Pregnant women should always talk to their doctor about any exercise program.
