Can pro ballerinas have babies?

Question

i know they physically can but how would it work with their career? they'd be out of it for at least six months or as soon as it was visible and after that it would prob take another year to get back in shape again let alone spend any time with the poor baby. a year and a half at least out of thecompany and no dancing, wouldn't that ruin their career? how would it work? anyone know or been through it?

Answer 1

with athletes you can still workout while your pregnant, because you're body is already used to it and can adapt, workouts however are restricted, there are obviously somethings that you should not do, as well as taking it a bit easy,

It is still very healthy for you, and helps you stay fit during your pregnancy! but yes you go on maternity leave and then train hard to get back into shape but if you are still working out during your pregnancy you just get to push yourself harder to get back to the level of fitness you were at after you are healed from the birth :)
