Caroline George, mountaineering guide based in Switzerland, continued ski-touring in the Alps throughout her pregnancy. By Liz Weber Liz Weber Email Bio Follow May 15 at 1:42 PM The day before Caroline George went into labor with her first child, she was skiing to the top of a mountain with her mother. Three generations of women, her unborn daughter included, reached the summit together.
Still, it hasn’t always been easy. Montaño, alongside fellow runners Phoebe Wright and Kara Goucher, recently accused Nike of docking sponsorship pay to athletes who were new mothers in a New York Times opinion piece. A couple of times a week, Rodden and her husband would venture into Yosemite National Park to climb the same route which offered a view of the Valley. As her husband would lead climb, Rodden would follow. “Climbing for me has always felt like yoga, fun and good for my body,” she said. But when it stopped feeling good, Rodden backed off.
A 2018 study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, conducted by University of Iceland researchers, looked at the health outcomes of 130 female athletes three years before their pregnancy and during. The results were compared with a control group of 118 non-active Icelandic mothers. The study found no significant difference in the length of delivery or pregnancy complications between the female athletes and the control group.
