'I definitely don't want to be pregnant again as an athlete' (via toofab)
"In the last year, Alexis and I have been trying to have another child, and we recently got some information from my doctor that put my mind at ease and made me feel that whenever we’re ready, we can add to our family," explained Serena, 40."I definitely don't want to be pregnant again as an athlete. I need to be two feet into tennis or two feet out."
"Believe me, I never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family," she wrote."I don't think it's fair. If I were a guy, I wouldn't be writing this because I'd be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family. Maybe I'd be more of a Tom Brady if I had that opportunity."
She added,"And I almost did do the impossible: A lot of people don't realize that I was two months pregnant when I won the Australian Open in 2017. But I'm turning 41 this month, and something’s got to give."Meanwhile, also in her essay, the tennis pro admitted that"earlier" in her career, she didn't think about being a mother.
