Motherhood is a sensitive thing
The mood in the text of the update is serious. Vuohijoki reflects on growing up and motherhood.
– During the last four weeks, I have answered numerous times the question of when we will have children. I also find the question really sad. As a woman, is the only advancement in life that I am ready to reproduce? …
Vuohijoki says that she feels that combining a sports career and motherhood is difficult. Many don’t even want to try it.
Vuohijoki has been on the same lines himself.
– Sport is still dominated by men, and therefore a woman’s status decreases with pregnancy. If I had been braver, I might have made a different choice years ago. Now I don’t know if I even want children. …
Vuohijoki emphasizes that wondering about having children is a very private matter. In his opinion, the conversation belongs only to the parties in the relationship.
Having children can also be a painful thing.
– That’s why it’s strange how, as a female athlete, you still come across this question almost every week. Many people, despite their wishes, never get pregnant. Therefore, when asking the question, you should think about whether this really belongs to me. …
Vuohijoki has kept one spouse Sami Köngäsen with already ten years. The couple got married in 2017.
They went into an open relationship in 2019.
