In recent years, there has been a call for systemic changes to better support athletes both during pregnancy and when returning to play after giving birth.

Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the experiences of elite athletes after they returned to competition postchildbirth. original article: Davenport, M.H., Ray, L., Nesdoly, A., Thornton, J., Khurana, R., & McHugh, T.L.F.
