Although Katja is aware that some women have received criticism for exercising during pregnancy, she is confident that she is doing the best for herself and her baby She said, “A hundred years back women didn’t stop working in the fields because they were pregnant, they still had manual stuff to do. I train four or five times a week and I feel absolutely fantastic. My energy levels have kept up and it’s helped me throughout the whole pregnancy. I think sometimes we forget that life goes on and doesn’t stop because you’re pregnant – it’s not an illness.”
