Rebecca Adlington Admits Pressure To Lose Baby Weight

Rebecca Adlington has revealed she has felt pressurised to lose her baby weight, but added that spending time with her daughter remains her priority.

Adlington, 26, and her husband Harry Needs, welcomed their first child – Summer – in June.

In a new interview with the MailOnline's FEMAIL, the former Olympic swimming champion opened up about her new "life-changing" role as a mother.

She told the publication: "I love it! Obviously it's a big adjustment but we're settling in and we just love her. It's been so life changing.

"Family is really important to me so being together – the three of us – is so rewarding. Things like seeing Summer's first smile, of course the first time we took her to the pool together. Creating those little memories together. I love it!"

Yet, the new mum added that she was putting pressure on herself to return to her pre-pregnancy body shape. Speaking about the pressures, she admitted: "[It's] really only from myself. I don't feel quite like myself just yet but I've enjoyed doing a few workouts again and I am looking forward to getting back in my old clothes.

"I'm not going to rush it though, as I don't want it to totally cut into my time with Summer. My priority is her."

Adlington and Needs started dating in 2011. The couple married at The Ashes, Staffordshire, in September 2014. In December of that year, they announced they were expecting their first child together.
