In the latest instalment of our 'Women in Sports' series, we ask, how much pressures is there on African sports women to take a break and start a family? Pregnancy is a game-changer for any woman, but in the world of a professional athlete, the prospect of sleepless nights and shifting priorities can be a difficult obstacle to overcome. But some have managed to get back to competition and achieve success after giving birth. Athlete Francoise Mbango of Cameroon, took time off to have her son after winning the 2004 Olympic triple jump gold medal. She then staged a terrific comeback to retain her Olympic title in 2008 in Bejing. She spoke to the BBC's Nishat Ladha about her remarkable achievement.
