最牛的母親:準媽媽跑完馬拉松生小孩!

你跑過馬拉松嗎？大千世界無奇不有，你能想象孕婦挺着個大肚子跑完馬拉松後再生小孩嗎？

Amber Miller felt contractions just minutes after crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon. A few hours later, the suburban Chicago woman — who slogged her way through 26.2 miles while nearly 39 weeks pregnant — delivered a healthy baby girl.

"For me, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I was running up until that point anyway," Miller told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital where she was recovering Monday.

Sunday's marathon was the eighth for the 27-year-old, who has been running for more than a dozen years. She found out she was pregnant with her second child days after signing up for the Chicago race and decided to play it by ear on whether or not she would run.

When the baby hadn't been born by Sunday, she got clearance from her doctor to run half. She completed it with a with a half-run half-walk approach, drinking lots of fluids and eating a lot along the way. She finished in 6:25:50, much slower than her usual marathon time, but still content.

"Lots of people were cheering me on: 'Go pregnant lady!'" she said. "I was expecting some negative comments. "

Medical guidelines generally say that if a woman was a runner and healthy before she got pregnant, running during pregnancy is fine. Doctors even recommend exercise for low-risk pregnancies. However, medical experts agree that pregnancy is not the time to begin any exercise endeavors, such as starting marathon training for the first time. For pregnant runners, close monitoring by a doctor is recommended.

Miller who was looking forward to getting rest, said she the only effects she felt from the marathon, which she finished around 3:30 p.m., were blisters on her feet. She was just happy to see her daughter June, who was born at 10:29 p.m. at 7 pounds, 13 ounces with no complications.

據《美聯社》10月10日報道，安伯·米勒在跨過芝加哥馬拉松比賽的終點線之後，突然有了強烈的妊娠反應。幾個小時之後，這位來自芝加哥城郊的女性，順利誕下一名健康女嬰。此前她以懷孕39周的身體狀況，艱難地跑完了26.2英里的賽程。

到週一，米勒的身體已經有所恢復。她在醫院裏接受美聯社的採訪時說；“對我而言，這並不是什麼非同尋常的事情。無論如何我都會堅持到終點。”

上週日的馬拉松比賽是這位27歲的女性第八次參賽。米勒熱衷於長跑運動已經有超過12年的時間。她在報完名之後就發現自己懷上了第二胎，但還是決意要看看自己能不能參賽。

週日比賽當天（米勒尚未生產時），醫生允許她跑完一半的賽程。而她以半跑半走的方式完成了比賽。在比賽途中她攝入了大量的液體和食物。米勒的成績是6時25分50秒 ，這比她以往參加馬拉松比賽花費的時間要慢得多，但她仍然很滿意。

“許多人都加油鼓勵我說‘衝啊！未來媽媽！’”她說，“我倒是期待有人批評我這麼做。”

一般從醫學準則上來說，如果女性在懷孕之前就已經是長跑運動員而且身體健康的話，那麼即使在懷孕期間跑步也是沒有大礙的。醫生們甚至建議低危孕婦參加鍛鍊。然而，醫學專家 不建議諸如那些剛開始接受馬拉松訓練的女性在懷孕期間嘗試鍛鍊，建議懷孕的長跑運動員和醫生保持密切聯繫。

米勒期待着得到休息，她說在下午3點半左右結束馬拉松賽跑之後的唯一不適就是腳上起了水泡。看到女兒朱恩的出生她很開心。小朱恩於當夜10點29分出生，重7磅13盎司。健康狀況良好。
