It’s as UK Sport has recently brought in its first ever maternity guidelines for Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

You’ll hear in the episode from 11-time Paralympic champion Tanni Grey-Thompson, Olympic gold and silver medal-winning cyclist Elinor Barker, Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Max Whitlock and European archery champion Naomi Folkard.

They discuss whether the new guidelines better support athletes and what needs to change in the future.
