If hooping feels good and brings you relaxation during pregnancy, then by all means, hula hoop it up! Keep in mind that every day is different during pregnancy and you must listen to your body whilst hula hooping. Before hula hooping during pregnancy you should “consult your doctor”.
Pregnancy hula hooping doesn’t necessarily involve waist and hip hula hooping, there are many hula hoop tricks and moves that you can do while pregnant such as off body moves, floating, hand offs, halos, chest hooping etc.
For a healthy pregnancy, there’s no reason to think you can’t hoop. And you won’t have to look hard for proof AND inspiration online! Today there are so many pregnant hooping videos online. And they are just beautiful, stunning and magical. I watch with wonder.
Having said all of this, there’s also no reason to feel like you have to hula hoop during pregnancy. No matter what your sport during pregnancy, remember that your balance is not what it used to be, you need more water, and more rest. Whether or not you’ll hula hoop during pregnancy is a decision you can make each day, according to how you feel. But if you do hula hoop pregnant, keep making those videos for inspiration to others!
