Photo: Olympic athlete, Alysia Montaño runs with 5-months pregnancy

Olympic runner Alysia Montaño on Thursday raced at the U.S.A. Track & Field Outdoor Championships  in Sacramento while she was five months pregnant, in 100-degree heat - and she beat her time for the last Championship she raced while also pregnant.



Three years ago, she competed in the same race when she was eight months pregnant. She was able to take 10 seconds off her 800-meter time from 2014.
“People were like, oh, you’re going to run faster than you did last time because you’re less pregnant, I was like, I’m still pregnant” Montaño told LetsRun.com. Montaño isn’t the only athlete to compete while pregnant.
In January, Serena Williams played in the Australian Open and won the title while pregnant.

Montaño said she was inspired after learning that Gal Gadot filmed half of Wonder Woman while she was five months pregnant. “I saw Wonder Woman, and I was like, I for sure am signing up for USA Nationals. I already was thinking I was going to do it” she said.

Everyone saying it's vigorous sports during pregnancy. She's a trained athlete. She can do this race in her sleep. It's at par with her fitness level. They only advise mothers to not go above their previous fitness level before pregnancy. If your life is sitting at home eating jollof and eba, this is not for you but she is a trained athlete. Her body can accommodate this..

Thank you Anon 12:59! Definitely the advice from Doctors. It's usually safe for Mom to keep to her current fitness level.
