When you are ready, becoming pregnant and either starting or adding to a family can be a wonderful (although occasionally stressful) time. Preparing for what is to come is never easy, and until you actually give birth and become a mother, or know how to multi-task and take care of multiple children at once, you never truly know what to expect.
While some moms rely on baths, massages, and calming music to eliminate stress before giving birth, others continue living just as they have always done, like the CrossFit mom who continued exercising throughout her entire pregnancy!
At 40 weeks pregnant, Bonnie Northsea could no longer put off the anticipation of meeting her baby boy and decided to take matters into her own hands, by dancing to induce her labor, and filming the entire thing.
The video of Bonnie dancing to Michael Jackson's "Thriller" has been viewed over two million times, getting her a whole lot of attention…something that Bonnie says helped to distract her from the stresses of being pregnant, while also coping with finding out that her husband had just been diagnosed with testicular cancer.
Although the dance didn't quite seem to work (Bonnie gave birth eight days later!), the attention gained from the video has since allowed Bonnie to share the story of her family. One that now includes a healthy beautiful baby boy — and a husband who is cancer free.
You can check out their amazing story on their GoFundMe page where they are taking donations to help with the numerous hospital bills here.
