Serena Williams Playing Tennis In Her 3rd Trimester Is A Sight To Behold
Welcome to Mothership: Parenting stories you actually want to read, whether you're thinking about or passing on kids, from egg-freezing to taking home baby and beyond. Because motherhood is a big if — not when — and it's time we talked about it that way.
Seven months into her pregnancy, Serena Williams' backhand is still on fire. The tennis champ — who won the Australian Open in January returned to the top of the WTA rankingsthe week after news of her pregnancy broke in April — may be sitting out the year professionally. But the 28-week-pregnant athlete is by no means staying off the court, as her Instagram feed proved on Thursday, when Williams posted a video of herself playing tennis as fiercely as ever.
A little insight into the 35-year-old tennis champ's built-in doubles partner: According to the doctors on the BabyCenter Medical Advisory Board, Williams' little bun currently resembles a large eggplant (their comparison, not ours), weighing in at a little over 2 lbs and measures nearly 15 inches.
Williams has been sharing snapshots of her pregnancy on social media since the middle of April, when she unintentionally announced announced she was expecting her first child withfiancé Alexis Ohanian in a very 2017 way: via Snapchat. On April 19, the 23-time Grand Slam winner shared a selfie in a yellow swimsuit captioned "20 weeks." A week later, Williams, who is waiting to find out the sex of her baby, confessed in an interview with Gayle King that she had not mean to share her big news with the world quite yet.
"Well, actually it was an accident," she told King at the 2017 TED Talks conference in Vancouver. "I was on vacation just taking some time for myself and I have this thing where I’ve been checking my status and taking pictures every week to see how far along I’m going," Williams explained. "I didn’t tell a lot of people to be quite honest and I’d been saving it," she continued. "Every week I just take a picture and save it and I’ve been so good about it and this was the one time I slipped, but it’s okay." She added, "On social media, you press the wrong button and… 30 minutes later I missed four calls and I’m like, ‘That’s weird.’ But it was a good moment. I was only going to wait five or six more days [to tell people]."

Pregnant Serena Williams Still Owns the Tennis Court
[MUSIC] [BLANK_AUDIO]
In the two months since Serena Williams announced her pregnancy, the expectant star has continued to be her badass-athlete self.
On Thursday, in a helpful reminder that at the end of the day she can basically do it all, the tennis pro posted a video that shows herself on the court for a workout sesh.
She confidently shows off her strokes and she returns the tennis ball across the net to her partner. Watch the clip here:
Since the star won the Australian Open while eight-weeks pregnant, this may or may not come as a surprise. Either way, it seems likely that her and fiancé Alexis Ohanian's baby will be born ready to play.
While Williams is busy embracing the experience of being pregnant, Ohanian is nothing but excited too.
“What am I looking forward to? I’m looking forward to this being my greatest creation,” he said in a new interview with The Cut. He went on to explain that while co-founding Reddit has been a major accomplishment, becoming a father “is everything, this is family.”
On top of expressing his joy, Ohanian also revealed that the happy couple, like any, is also nervous for what’s to come. They’re using the What to Expect app to track the baby’s progress and also turning to Reddit forums for parents-to-be. Tips he’s picked up? How to arrange linens for newborns. According to his learnings, you’re supposed to “layer the crib mattress so when that first layer is ruined, you just pull the sheet off and have another totally clean padded sheet underneath,” he added.
He has also figured out how to make sure his two dogs fall in love with the baby. The plan is to drape the baby in a blanket he and Williams sleep with and later let the dogs get used to the scent, and eventually to the baby.
Sounds like these two have it all figured out.

Serena Williams Hits The Tennis Court While Seven Months Pregnant
Serena Williams may be in her third trimester and unable to actually compete in tennis tournaments, but that hasn’t stopped the No. 2 tennis player in the world from making time to hit around a few balls. That’s right, she’s still a much better tennis player than the rest of us while carrying her first child. Some people are just truly gifted out in these streets. The 35-year-old mom-to-be posted a video on Instagram early Thursday morning of herself on the tennis court. Williams, and someone we can’t 100 percent make out in the clip, are hitting a tennis ball back and forth, and Williams in all black and a visor, clearly hasn’t lost a step. Considering that Williams won the Australian Open while ...
