Instead of having a rest after completing the Chicago Marathon, pregnant Amber Miller gave birth.
Mrs Miller, who was nearly 39 weeks pregnant, said "it was the longest day of my life". She gave birth to a healthy 7.7lb (3.5kg) girl, June.
The marathon was the eighth for the 27-year-old, who already had one child. On her doctor's orders she ran half and walked half the distance.
"Lots of people were cheering me on: 'Go pregnant lady'," she said.
What's your opinion on this story? Is she mad? Would she have been more sensible to give the marathon a miss and save her strength for impending birth? Would YOU consider running a marathon a week before your due date?
