In the latest instalment of our 'Women in Sports' series, we ask, how much pressures is there on African sports women to take a break and start a family? Pregnancy is a game-changer for any woman, but in the world of a professional athlete, the prospect of sleepless nights and shifting priorities can be a difficult obstacle to overcome. But some have managed to get back to competition and achieve success after giving birth.
