Dance has long been used in diverse cultures during the initial stages of labor to alleviate pain and promote progression. Belly dancing, among other dance forms, is thought to loosen and relax the pelvic muscles, potentially facilitating the descent of the fetus into the pelvis. The key is movement, regardless of the form, to keep things progressing smoothly and to make the experience shorter and more enjoyable. #pregnancy #expecting #labor #pregnantbelly #pregnantmama #pregnanttiktoks #bellydancing
