I have created a comprehensive guide documenting my journey through pregnancy by trimester, which you can find in the forum "Surfing Through Pregnancy." The guide includes my experiences during both the first and second pregnancies. I am thrilled to share this with the world, as I believe it is much needed. While I may not be a professional surfer, I have been a professional athlete throughout my life and have gained valuable experience that I hope will help other women like myself who are navigating pregnancy on their own.
Many women have taken on the challenge of continuing in sports during their pregnancy and motherhood before me. However, this has often been left out of the narrative. I believe that motherhood alone is very intimidating, and the lack of support for mothers in sports has caused talented female athletes to shy away from having children or be shamed for wanting more than just motherhood.
I was surprised to find that there were very few stories about mothers surfing through pregnancy when I searched on Google. So for the moms out there, this is for you. You are not alone anymore.
Love,
Danielle
