Transitioning from Teaching Zumba

As I enter my third trimester,  I am starting to transition to prepare for the arrival of the new addition to our family. This will be my last month teaching my Zumba fitness classes, but I will continue to exercise and work out on a regular basis on my own.  My doctors are very supportive and encourage me to teach as long as I want to, and I have been in great health throughout my pregnancy. My reason for stopping early in most cases has more to do with the mental strain than the physical. I am constantly bombarded with people's comments and fears about me teaching while pregnant especially as I get farther along. I don't forget music or choreography because of "pregnancy brain" even though I pretend like it is. 9 times out of 10 it's because something someone said to me before or during class and it makes it harder for me to focus. Most times they say things "jokingly" or "motherly", but  it's really too much and unnecessary at times. I can't leave my house without hearing it. Pregnancy is not a disease or disorder. I can do pretty much everything I did before I got pregnant. As long as I am aware of my body and the baby and use modifications as needed, we are really fine. I danced until I was 8 months pregnant with Tre' and the only reason I stopped then was because I was scared my water was going to break in public and I would be embarrassed. I was even taking break dancing lessons at 6 months pregnant which was hilarious. I figured it would be good to learn how to go to the ground safely in case I tripped or something. Even though I lost my baby at 3 months to SIDS, he was born healthy and delivery was fairly easy. Some people really don't get it and can be very negative. I know they don't mean any harm for the most part, but sometimes it is harmful because it weighs on me in a different capacity. Now I feel like I have to stop because if something did go wrong in my pregnancy at this point, people might blame it on my being so active. I have allowed their fears to become mine, which is something I said I would never do again. Even though I wanted to have another baby after losing Tre', I knew I wasn't ready at first and spent a lot of energy in preparing physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. While I'm in good shape physically, my social life proved to really take away from my mental, emotional, and spiritual strength. So now I really have to put more energy into restoring myself in those areas. It's not that I can't keep teaching, but I no longer have the will to teach. Being balanced and whole is more important to me, especially as I prepare for labor. Hopefully by the time we get pregnant again if the Lord wills it, then I will have built up enough resilience to not allow others to effect me so much. This time I have to be honest with myself and where I am, and it does. Will I teach Zumba again after having the baby? I would like to, but that is so far ahead that I can't really say right now. Right now I have to focus on preparing to bring another miracle into the world and maintaining my sanity.
