Ballet dancers — pregnancy outcomes

Sandra Barry, BSc(Hons), RGN, RM, AFFP (RCOG), MRSH

The Walworth Road Surgery 1 Manor Place Southwark London SE17 3BD

Ballet dancers have been observed to have increased difficulties in pregnancy and labour. This article looks at this anatomically, physiologically and socially. It suggests that, with the intervention of appropriate health care professionals, (for example, nutritionists, doctors, nurses and midwives), the ballet dancers' quality of life, health status and professional per formance can be improved.

Key Words: Ballet dancers • pregnancy • labour • pain • diet • exercise
