most pregnant women I know of stay out of the arena when there are others in it. I was told once that they were considered to have very strong medicine. Alson, Moon time women do not enter the arena. Since i only know a little about some, I hope that someone else can give you some input

like others`have said, Women on thier moon, stay out of the arena. As for pregnant Women, it depends on the Nation. i have been places where Women do not dace pregnant. I have also been places & met ppl who said that where they comr from Women do dance pregnant & they have all said that it is done so that the baby is in the circle from the time of conception.
You should always check with your elders & with the community whose powwow your at. Suzze |

Being "on your moon" means to be menstruating.
