Jodie Grinham will compete as an archer for Great Britain in this months Paralympic Games in Paris while seven months pregnant.

My team have joked a few times that my waters could just break on the podium, Grinham told The Athletic . That would be quite something.

Before this pregnancy, Grinham had three miscarriages, but she knew she wanted to extend her family and give a sibling to her son Christian, whom she delivered prematurely at 28 weeks. She also didnt want the Paralympics to stop her from getting pregnant.

We decided we werent going to let a Games stop us from extending our family, Grinham told The Athletic. We didnt know if we were even going to be able to conceive another one. This might not ever happen for us. Getting pregnant is not as easy as people believe. Its not that simple.
