Hmm. i would definitely NOT dance during the last couple months. I guess i don't know how much energy/ or floor work/pole work/whatever you put into your dancing as everyone is different, but from what i have seen trying to pull it off with a tummy past 5 or 6 months would be very very difficult physically. And while i am sure there is a market for it, it is probably still going to make you less money then you are used to.
There really is a market for everything. I have known several girls who have danced while pregnant, and to be honest, the customers have always been nicer to them. There will of
course always be an asshole out there, but it's always that way regarless of what one looks like. Some customers are so faithful, they will see you through anything. Good luck![]()
you know babies can hear in utro right? i dont think i would want my baby to hear nasty custy comments. even if he/she doesnt understand. ewww.....

There was a girl at my club who I didn't know was pregnant until she had a VERY BAD miscarrige at the club in the bathroom. The management acted like the didn't want to call 911. They tried to say that she was drinking, but the bartender only served her Sprite. She was fired. Please be careful.
I've seen pregnant girls make some good bank. I'd still have corncerns for you about dancing for much longer (isn't 19 weeks like halfway through, already?), for all the reasons that have already been stated.
I'm only posting because I feel that another repeat of "SEE WHAT YOUR DOCTOR SAYS ABOUT THIS" is really warranted. If you're making money and your club doesn't care, your doctor is really the only other person with anything valuable to say about it.



Dance as long as your comfortable w/ yourself and not exposed to too much smoke! I danced til I was about 9 weeks along, and wish I would've stayed longer n put more money up. I just felt wayy too exhausted and emotional to continue on.. Good luck!



I had to dance until I was about 20-21 weeks because my lazy jackass of a husband refused to work (I am divorcing him). I completely hated it. I was self-concious and my belly was noticeable as I was thin to begin with. Customers noticed it and made me feel badly about being there. I am sure alot of my self esteem issues had to do with my stbX husband and the situation we were in, but it was excruciating to get on stage for me. I was also exhausted.
I am not saying this will happen to you or anything, just think twice about it. Also continuously exposing the fetus to loud music (like concerts and bars) has supposedly been linked to hearing disorders in children as well - or so my OB had told me (not saying it is a fact). As far as smoking, alot of places are smoke free now - my club was. Also there are risks for injury and falling, etc., etc.
On the pro side, at the same time I was at that club there was a shot girl who was 8 months pregnant and confident and made kickass money.
Bottom line, I just don't feel that women who are pregnant belong in a club environment, especially those who are 'showing'. Just my opinion. But it is ultimately your decision to make.

I think if your club isn't smokey then GO FOR IT!!!
Almost every guy I have dated think that pregnant women are the sexiest thing!
I've talked to many men about it.
Nearly all of them think that pregnant women are sexier than the others.
So go for it girl.
I'd dance if I was pregnant.

I danced when I was pregnant with my daughter until I reached 28 weeks and only stopped because my back used to kill me after a 7 hour shift. I made really good money and the customers were really sweet.
I am now 9 weeks preggo and already showing and am going to work at my current club as long as they let me. I only have a 9 month lease on these boobs so I am definatly getting m y moneys worth

I think that the most important thing is your baby's and your safety. I don't think it's safe to dance much past your 5th month. When pregnant, your balance is thrown off, especially once you can't see your toes anymore. Top that off with wearing high ass heels and black lights and you are at a risk of falling and getting seriously injured and/or injuring your baby. Also, I assume there is a bar at your club. At bars, people often get rowdy. I'd be worried primarily about safety. I fell and tripped all the time when I was pregnant.
A girl in my club was 6 or 7 months. On many different nights I witnessed customers talk badly about her, others just made faces, and worse, some just felt really awkward for her. Seems like although some of these men want nothing with them, many mostly agree to pay because they feel sorry for her!!
The last thing I want from anyone is their fucking pity.
I'm currently 37 weeks pregnant. I stopped dancing when I found out but all the more power to you! There was no way I could of danced through the 1st trimester. I mean no one wants to get a lapdance from a girl that might barf on them. I was just wayyyy too miserable to work, and by the time I wasn't I just felt to fat.



Just because theres a 'market for everything' doesn't mean you take all those fetishes into the club. Some people are into eating shit as part of sex, but when the rest of us see that it makes us sick.
I think most of the population would perceive a pregnant dancer as pathetic and an object of pity. Yes you might find a few guys per night who are interested, but you also grossed out and turned off the rest of people who say you.
If I was dancing, and a pregnant girl was dancing naked near me, I would find it very disctracting and I assume my customer would too. And not in a good way.
The WARNING WAS FUNNY.. In my opinion girls shouldnt dance when they are pregnant. Overall I think it makes the club look desperate for girls and devalues the club into ghetto status. They should maybe(big maybe) put them at the front taking cover charges. There is nothing wrong with being pregnant its just not for strip clubs. Also you should make the father of the baby work(even if he has to get 2 or 3 jobs) to make you work while your pregnant goes to show a lot about him.
Whoa whoa whoa...excuse me? Do you know my husband personally? No. Did I say anywhere that he was making me work? No. I haven't worked since December and I've decided to do cam work because HE thinks the club is too dangerous for a pregnant woman. I don't have to work. I could sit on my ass and get fat and let him take care of me. He owns his own business. I WANT to work. I like my own money. Please....don't make assumptions.

I would suggest dancing up until your doctor says no (obviously dont do it if your place is smoky) once the doctor says no, ask your manager if you can bartend or host or coat check or something. That way your custies could still see you and stay updated (which would be good to help keep that strong custie relationship) and you'll still make money
When I got pregnant, I said I would work until 4 months or so. I found out I was pregnant @ 7 weeks, and I lasted 2 nights at work before I had to quit. I eventually miscarried and went back to work the week after.
There's a girl I work with now that's pregnant. Her stomach isn't that big (I'm not sure how far along she is but I think it's about 12 weeks) and she always wears a dress to cover it. Her boobs are HUGE!!!! Honestly, she looks great. But when she starts to show, it's time for her to go.
Our housemom was pregnant and it was strange sometimes to see a pregnant chick walking around (even stranger to have her baby shower @ the strip club). I'm all for doing it until you're obviously pregnant, but I would hate to work at a place with dancers who are 7+ months pregnant. What the hell do I look like working in a place with pregnant chicks? And I think it would drive some customers away. Yes, there's a market for everything and I respect that, but IMO, one shouldn't be dancing when they're largely pregnant.


hmmmm....most friends I know quit when they found out they were pregnant but when i first started dancing there was a very pregnant woman who worked at the club. She would NOT go on stage. She only did VIP and was very, very, very popular...this was my first club and i was like whoaaaaaa. Now almost a decade passed and I never saw that again. I guess you have to make your own choice and definately find a doctor to get an opinion. It's not a matter of will there be a market, there's a market for every fetish. It's a question of making sure you and the little one are OK, imho.

Talk to your ob/gyn. Even if there's a market for pregnant dancers it might not be healthy for you or your baby. I know at clubs I've worked at the rule was if you wanted to dance past 4 months you had to have a note from your doctor.
I used to work at a club with a girl who danced all the way up until her delivery date. It . . . wasn't a pretty sight. She made a little money, yes, but behind her back most of the customers had negative reactions to it that ranged from pity to disgust. Her very presence made everyone very uncomfortable. Total mood killer.
I remember losing a few sales because I'd be talking to a guy, and she'd suddenly get called on stage. The dude I was sitting with would lose the mojo, and instead start asking questions about who the preggo girl was, did she have a pimp that was forcing her to dance, was she on drugs and that's why she needed to keep making extra money, etc. It was never a "oooh, look at that beautiful fertile female" reaction.





I asked multiple of my guy friends and customers, just for input, including my super understanding ex and current BF and they all said they wouldn't be into it.
I wouldnt go over 5 mos, personally.
Hi. My name is Rebecca Lock. I am a television producer in Washington DC and am working on a documentary series for Discovery Health. We will be featuring women who have unique interests, careers, etc. Each woman featured will receive $1,500 for her participation. We're interested in telling the story of a woman who is a dancer and also pregnant. Ideally, the woman would be between 5 and 8 months pregnant. I came across your story and am wondering if you may be interested in speaking with me further about the project. If not, do you know anyone else who may be interested? I can be reached at 301-920-9850. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks so much!
