Olympian reveals she is 7 months pregnant after competing
As a spectator of sports and life, I stand in awe of Nada Hafez, this extraordinary woman who defies convention and pushes the boundaries of human resilience. Competing at the Olympics while seven months pregnant is an achievement that transcends fencing or any other sport; it’s a testament to her indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication.
At the 2024 Olympics, a woman named Nada Hafez from Egypt participated in fencing while being seven months pregnant, surprising many.
She announced on Instagram, “Three athletes on the podium!” What may seem like two competitors to you, were actually three: myself, my fellow competitor, and my unborn baby! My pregnancy journey was filled with various challenges, both physically and emotionally. Balancing life and sports during pregnancy was no easy feat, but it was all worth it. I’m proud to have advanced to the round of 16 in this Olympics! I feel fortunate to have the support of my husband @ibrahimihab11 and my family throughout this unique experience. This Olympics was special; not just my third, but this time I’m carrying a tiny Olympian with me!”
Wow, can you believe it? I, an avid gamer here, am also excitedly announcing some incredible news – I’m seven months pregnant! Here’s the kicker: I won a medal at the Olympics just yesterday! Can’t wait to represent and inspire at #Paris2024 as part of the fencing community, #FIE_fencing. 🤰🎉
