Ballet dancers--pregnancy outcomes

S Barry. J R Soc Promot Health. 1998 Dec.

Abstract

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 performance can be improved.
