Pregnant Coaches Guide Zag Women

There must be something in the water in the Gonzaga University Athletic Department. Two of the assistant coaches for the GU Women’s Basketball team are pregnant, making for an interesting season on the sidelines. Thursday night, the GU Women won the WCC Conference. When Lisa Mispley Fortier and Jodie Kaczor Berry celebrated the win, they were each celebrating for two. Kaczor Berry is halfway through her pregnancy, with a baby boy due in July. Mispley Fortier is much farther along; her child is due April 1st, two days before the Final Four. “It’s getting a little bit tougher to stand up in practice all day,” Lisa said. “I keep dropping my pen during games and I can’t pick it up!” The pregnancies are welcome news to the family-oriented, close-knit team. For Head Coach Kelly Graves, it’s a little extra estrogen in his already female-centric world/ Melissa Luck , KXLY. More here .

Question (for the Ladies of HBO): What was the toughest job that you did while pregnant?
