I didn't stop training while I was pregnant...The day before I gave birth, I was in my dad's kickboxing gym, kicking and punching the bag so like I didn't stop while I was ready to go, I was back training after three weeks, and I was looking for fights to be booked. I wasn't even able to get medicals cleared, I had to go to different doctors and pretend I didn't have a kid."
