Usually, at eight months of pregnancy, the belly grows large, making even walking difficult.

A woman in the United States is drawing attention for completing a full marathon while eight months pregnant.

At a marathon event in Sydney, Australia.

Among the numerous participants, one woman particularly stands out.

She is a 29-year-old pregnant participant from the U.S.

Despite being 32 weeks pregnant with a significantly large belly, she completed the full 42.195-kilometer marathon course in 2 hours, 59 minutes, and 43 seconds.

Only about 1 percent of female participants achieve a finish time under 3 hours.

What is even more surprising is that this was her second marathon participation during pregnancy.

She stated that she entered the race after receiving advice beforehand from her attending physician that she could continue her usual exercise as long as there were no health issues.
