From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Four time Olympic medal winner Rebecca Adlington has shared her tips for keeping fit during pregnancy.

The world champion swimmer says she exercises for around 30 minutes every day, as well as continuing to swim twice a week.

Here, she shares her favourite exercises, whether you’re at home, in the gym, or in the garden.

“It’s really important to keep exercising throughout your pregnancy”, she says. “It’ll help with your changing shape, adapting to the weight gain, but also it’ll help you bounce back into shape once the baby is here as well”.

Adlington, whose due date is at the beginning of June, has commented previously about her plans to return to work within a couple of months of the birth.
