Welcome, and congrats! On a safety note.... you should NOT START learning pole dance when your pregnant, even more so if you new to exercising. Now if you have been poling for a good while then listen to your body and enjoy yourself. Here are some guidelines I use when I was pregnant with my 4th. If your new to pole dance then backing off it a good idea. You can still do some floorwork and fun transitions and you can still have fun with it, just dance! Here is a good example of dancing with your pole without all the tricks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs3i-ryO1qM Now if your not a beginner and your very comfy in your abilities, here are my guide lines, I used for my pregnancy. With ANY exercise while preggers, be sure you don't over heat, and don't raise your heart level too high. Drink lots of water. Listen to your body. 1st Trimester...continue with moves you know but don't work on new ones. Stick with what you have down and work on perfecting it. 2nd Trimester...No more inverts or climbs. Spins are fine if your joints don't mind. if your a seasoned dancer it shouldn't be a problem, but everyone is different. 3rd Trimester...This is a good time to work on dancing with soft hands, pointed toes (watch out for leg cramps tho) and hip rolls and enjoying your new sexy body. Most spins will be out..I was able to adjust mine, I found that by keeping my thighs pointing down, and not bringing them up to my waist for spins like the chair I could still do them and they were not a stain on my Abs. Here is an example of that...you can see I don't do many spins at all and I keep my knees low. http://ver3.studioveena.com/lessons/view/1751 With ANY exercise you have to talk with your DR first and make sure your fit to exercise while pregnant. 🤮 LOL
