Things are starting to tighten for Norwegian skiing icon Therese Johaug.
Soon she will become a mother for the first time in her life.
Now the shock that she realized before the birth is revealed.
In the spring of 2022, one of skiing’s biggest names said goodbye to his career when Therese Johaug put the skis and poles on the famous shelf. The Norwegian skiing queen has since stepped in as a TV expert at Norwegian NRK and still has one foot in the sport she loves.
Johaug’s shock
But a completely new chapter in Johaug’s life awaits soon. Soon she will become a mother for the very first time in her life and a little girl is expected to arrive at the beginning of the summer.

The 34-year-old has been generous in talking about her thoughts and reflections before the upcoming birth and new life as a mother in her own podcast “Johaugredaksjonen”. In the latest episode, Johaug opens up about the shock when she realized what to expect after giving birth.
– I thought that you put on your shoes and go out for a jog, day two or so, says Johaug with a laugh in the podcast.
– I have always thought that the pregnancy would be over when she was out, no one told me that I would have to wear diapers for a whole week afterwards.

Making a comeback?
Therese Johaug is still very dedicated to training and moves a lot. Now a concern has grown that she will lose continuity in connection with the birth and she was not at all prepared for the big adjustment after the birth.
– It was in the middle of May when I heard it. So it will be a reality check, she admits in the podcast.

When the Norwegian is fully recovered again after giving birth, we can probably count on her to start training hard again. Because there is also a small seed about a possible comeback for the skiing queen for the home WC in Trondheim in 2025.
