Mum says pole dancing just before giving birth helped labour go without a hitch

A mum-to-be trolled by strangers who claimed she "didn't care about the baby" after pole dancing during pregnancy says it helped her labour go without a hitch and heal after a miscarriage. Danielle Nicole, 36, started pole dancing seven years ago when she attended a private class for her 29th birthday.

She loved it and took it up as a hobby and has since won pole dancing competitions and taught pole classes to others. Danielle used pole dancing to help her heal after suffering a heartbreaking miscarriage at 18 weeks pregnant in April 2021.

Danielle was delighted to fall pregnant in November 2021 with her son, she refused to give up pole dancing. Seeking medical advice, her obstetrician told her it was OK to continue on the pole as long as she took safety precautions, and her pregnancy didn't develop any complications.
