Triple Olympian Hannah Miley: ‘I really wanted to stay active during my pregnancy, but I found it very challenging’

Triple Olympian and double Commonwealth swimming champion Hannah Miley explains how she felt when she was pregnant.

As part of ‘That Time of the Month’ on 5 Live, she told Naga Munchetty: “When I did get pregnant, I didn’t know where I fitted in.

“I found it difficult to actually find myself motivated to get in and swim.

“The pressure that I felt that I put on myself because I was an Olympian, I’ve been active, everybody expected me to be sporty and to remain active. I really found it difficult to actually get out of the house and be active.

“The looks that you would get was interesting, especially if I went into the gym, a lot of people were judging, thinking you shouldn’t be here, you’ve got a bump.â€
