Spanish actress Gemma Marin isn’t letting pregnancy slow her down. Although she may be taking a break from acting, she has become an instant social media star after posting a series of pregnancy duets with her partner, Isreal Duffus.

The adorable couple are way too cute for words as they dance off to a number of different Latin songs. Gemma and Isreal welcomed their daughter, Alexandra, only two days after posting their final dance number.

Next we have adorable Russian mum-to-be Svetlana Shcherbakova who joins up with her equally cute hubby to pull out some funky dance moves.

Dressed in matching maroon outfits, the couple are not afraid to have fun as they dance along to Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You. The creative couple welcomed their first child earlier this month.

Another couple reaching serious relationship goals with their pregnancy dance video are Mimi and Alex Ikonn who choose to groove in their bedroom.

Since posting their series of dancing videos on Instagram, the couple has welcomed a daughter, who now joins in their dancing dates.

Mother daughter dancing duo

However, it’s not just the pairings of husband and wife that are taking the stage.

Last year little Jaylyn and her heavily pregnant mum, Nikki Taylor, set social media alight with their adorable mummy/daughter dance off. The plucky pair stage a perfectly choreographed performance to Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) by Silento.

Nikki puts in a valiant effort, but it’s Jaylyn who is clearly the star of the show.

Dance to delivery

While there is no scientific proof that dancing can help bring on labour, many mums will give anything a try when it’s past their due date. Bonnie Northsea gave dancing a red hot go with her thrilling dance moves.

“Someone told me that Thriller would induce labour,” she writes in the video post on YouTube. “Here I am on my due date 40 weeks, February 11, 2015, looking like a fool. I’m so awesome!”

It didn’t work for Bonnie, who remained pregnant for another eight days before welcoming her second child.

Baby Momma dance duo

The Baby Momma Dance by Starrkeisha is a favourite for heavily pregnant mums. And Leah Franklin, along with her partner, bust out their unique rendition on YouTube. Two days after getting down (and needing assistance to get back up), Leah went into labour with her son.
