A pregnant mum has become an internet sensation after trying to induce labour through high-tempo dancing - and filming it.
Dance teacher April Stuart Macrae admitted she was in agony as she filmed herself dancing maniacally to try to induce her baby's birth .
The footage shows her dancing around her bedroom heavily pregnant, manically throwing herself into various dance moves as she gyrates and throws her arms around.
April has also revealed she'd also tried other methods of making her baby arrive.
She said: "I went to the hospital in the morning and they said they thought I was in the early stages of labour because of the pain I was in.
"I was running out of ideas to induce it. I'd tried a hot curry and raspberry leaf tea as well as going on my ball but nothing worked.

"My friend said 'just dance it out' so I went in my room and just started dancing and going for it. I thought I'd film myself for a laugh."
April, 24, from Old Kilpatrick, near Glasgow - who once performed with her group Gurlesque at an after-show party for JLS and used to be in a girlband called Sweet Injection - sent her video out to friends including her friend Dione Gibson, the Daily Record reports.
She said: "My friends were howling and Dione thought it would be fun to put it on Facebook."

April, who has her own dance studio in Clydebank and a dance troupe called April's Street Feet, is now still counting down the hours to have her baby, which is officially due in 10 days' time.
She added: "I was in agony and knackered.
"But I thought it might help me go into labour.
"I'm not looking forward to giving birth because I've heard it's painful, although you soon forget it, but I don't want to wait for my baby.

Throughout her pregnancy, April has continued to teach dance and she intends to start boogieing again straight after too.
She said: "My dance class got through to Britain's Got Talent so I was teaching them throughout my pregnancy and we now have the World Championships coming up.
"My baby had better be a dancer. I'll be dancing with it as early as possible. My partner Ross Mclafferty thinks it's great."
