LOS ANGELES AFP: Six-time Olympic athletics champion Allyson Felix revealed Thursday she has given birth to a baby daughter who was born prematurely and only after an emergency C-section operation.
Felix gave birth to daughter Camryn on November 28 after only 32 weeks when emergency surgery was performed on the 33-year-old American due to complications.
Both mother and baby are doing fine, although the infant will spend more time in an intensive care unit before going home with Felix and her husband Kenneth.
“I’m trying to be open to what God has in store for me and my family,” Felix said in a posting on the US Olympic team website. “I still feel nervous and vulnerable. But I also feel brave and excited.
