Samantha shared that throughout her life, she had trained to do more and push boundaries at the gym. However, in this new phase, she is learning to respect her body and listen to it when it asks her to rest.

"My trainer is also certified in prenatal training, and everything you see here is modified for my body, my experience, and my pregnancy," she added.
