Five-time medalist Mallory Weggemann on her IVF, postpartum mental health, and her approach to competing and a career in sports as a new mom.
Just six months ago, five-time Paralympic medalist Mallory Weggemann was quietly considering retirement. But it wasn’t because the competitive swimmer stopped loving what she did; the new mom felt “stuck” and forced to choose between being a parent and competing as a career athlete. “It felt like the expectation was that I would silo those two identities—athlete and mother—and break them apart,' Weggemann tells Glamour.
If it’s one person in Indiana, if it’s a collective effort and group of many one people, that’s what it’s all about. It’s been really special. Jay also got a message from somebody who just went through IVF with his wife. It was in part due to male factor infertility, which they never talked about publicly because there’s still so much shame and stigma around it. So he thanked Jay for being a voice for the male factor infertility community.
