A British pole dancing and exercise instructor made some unusual moves while she was in labor on Sunday when she posted a video showing her pole dancing skills. The video has since gone viral.

Kat Bailey, of Nottingham, shared the video, which she filmed in the spare time she had before heading to the hospital to give birth.

“I thought I would do some pole, just to show that I still can,” she says in the video before lifting herself onto the pole sideways, smiling.

“Ta da! Baby can come now,” she says.

The video, posted on Facebook, has more than 83,000 views. Bailey’s son was born after 24 hours of pre-labor contractions and one and a half hours of active labor, she said on her Facebook page.
