All about Allyson Felix's first pregnancy
Allyson Felix has always been extremely transparent about the traumatic journey of her first pregnancy. Her big feud with Nike was one of the major highlights of that.
She parted ways with Nike in 2019 and revealed that the brand had been pressuring her to get back to training as soon as possible after her pregnancy. Felix also revealed that Nike offered her a pay which was 70% less than her previous arrangement.
After evaluation by the Olympian, it came out that Nike changed their maternity policy for athletes. She had to hide her first pregnancy for multiple reasons.
"I was concealing my pregnancy and working out where nobody could see me."
It was an isolating and lonely experience for Allyson Felix. However, the second pregnancy was a beautiful one and the family is overjoyed to have a new addition to their family.
