Cleo the Hurricane is expecting a baby, but this has not prevented her from pole dancing and doing the splits.
The 36-year-old mum-to-be started pole dancing in 2007 and in a post on her blog talks about her pregnancy experience responding also to the negative comments she has received about posing on the pole pregnant.
As she explained, she originally intended to quit pole dancing when she discovered she was pregnant, but she soon went back to it as it makes her feel “sexy” and “strong”.
She said: “I absolutely LOVE being pregnant… but I have also never felt so unsexy as I do today (especially in the last trimester). “Womanly DEFINITELY, feminine YES, confident YES… but sexy? That’s a big NO!”
Cleo wrote: “When I stand naked and look in the mirror I love what I see (my baby belly) however it is in a completely different light to what I’m used to. “As much as I have enjoyed this journey, preparing for motherhood, watching my baby belly grow… I have been CRAVING and LOVING that feeling of putting on my heels, a sexy song and pole dancing… just to feel sexy again.”
“This is how I express myself and I’m sure my son is gonna think his mum rocks when we bring out these pics on his 21st birthday!” she said.
