As the woman from Eastern Switzerland now admits, she struggled with the effects of her pregnancy on the return journey from Central America.
“When we flew back from Mexico, I wasn’t feeling so well and I didn’t really want to eat,” says Bencic. But then she suddenly felt hungry. “Since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve sometimes felt like eating something specific.” That’s why on the flight home she had a great desire for spaetzli with meat and a paprika sauce.

Bencic has recently had to realize once more and once more that the pregnancy is bothering her. «It has happened to me very often now that I have prepared something. When it was finished, I thought wow and had to eat something else,” says the Swiss woman. She adds: “I’m not normally like that, just now in this special situation.”

Bencic says in the podcast that as a mother she probably won’t raise her child too strictly. «Children have to make mistakes themselves.

This will happen as soon as she is physically fit once more.
