A pregnant woman, eight and a half months into her term, has sparked interest with her daily sparring in Muay Thai in China.

The video was filmed in the city of Linyi in Shandong Province on June 26.

The woman, identified as Ms Wu, is a Muay Thai instructor who has been teaching the sport for over three years.

Wu explained that her husband, too, is a professional fighter. From the time before she was pregnant to now, nearly nine months into her pregnancy, she has continued her daily Muay Thai sparring sessions with her husband.

The baby and her body, she said, have adapted to the high-intensity combat sport. Common symptoms of pregnancy such as stretch marks, pubic bone pain, and swelling of hands and feet have not surfaced.

The committed Muay Thai instructor did her due diligence before continuing with her rigorous exercise routine. She consulted with medical professionals who advised her that boxing exercises wouldn't greatly impact the baby.

They explained that moderate exercise could even aid in delivery, though they warned against individuals without a fitness foundation attempting such practices.

近日，山东临沂，一名90后怀孕8个半月的孕妇，每天对抗打泰拳引发关注。
当事人吴女士表示，自己是一名泰拳教练，教学三年多了，爱人也是一名拳手。从孕前到目前八个多月，每天都和爱人做泰拳对抗运动，宝宝和身体的机能都已经适应，妊娠纹、耻骨疼、手脚肿，这些症状都没有出现。她之前咨询过医生，被告知拳手运动对宝宝没太大影响，适量运动可以帮助生产，但建议没有运动基础的人不要轻易尝试。
