Any woman who has given girth can tell you that every pregnancy is a deeply personal and unique experience.

As you can see in this story about a mom who had her third child in a hospital parking lot, not every pregnancy goes as planned and every mom-to-be is different. Australian physiotherapist Liza Edwards knows her body better than anyone, so when she first became pregnant with her son she decided not to drastically alter her exercise routine, which involved a lot of time on her surfboard.

According to TODAY, 31-year-old Edwards, who is from Brisbane, has been an avid surfer since she was 15 and surfed up to 28 weeks pregnant with her son. That’s why the second time around friends and family worried the surfer mom would risk injury her unborn new baby by surfing into her third semester.

Edwards said her mother pushed her to stop surfing and consult with her widwife, who ended up giving the mom-to-be a surprising response.

“‘Look, enjoy your surfing,” her midwife advised. “Just know [your] limits, take caution, and be sensible.’ I was pretty excited to tell my mum that news,” Edwards told TODAY Parents in an email.

Edwards said she loves surfing because of “The freedom, the challenge, the thrill, the time away from the duties of being a mum and — a huge factor — the social interaction out in the waves with my other equally excited mum friends.”
