But I just wonder, with those lessons that you've had in rugby, how that's perhaps helped you a little bit in pregnancy and listening to you talk there in terms of knowing that you had to change that shift from push, push, push, like more, more, more, let's think ahead, think ahead, to actually being like, "Okay, let's meet my body where it's at now." The kind of-- I'd love to understand the kind of lessons in that and what you might take away from that, perhaps moving back to sport afterwards or through this season of your life.

Lark Atkin-DavisGUEST
I think some of those lessons can certainly probably apply to postpartum, and I think, like I said, talking to people and asking for help is gonna be something massive in that time.

Lark Atkin-DavisGUEST
And I think, you know, what I didn't mention in that in terms of like when I did have those days where I was like, "Okay, I'm feeling a bit more tired," like I've got a great support network in place, whether that's, you know, the medical staff through rugby, my husband Jamie, you know, my teammates that are also pregnant or, you know, yourself and your team.

Lark Atkin-DavisGUEST
Um, being able to sort of ask questions of people or ask for help I think is super important in terms of navigating that, okay, actually, like probably postpartum-wise, I, I am gonna need that support in place.
