Pro surfer Bethany Hamilton expecting first child

LIHUE, Hawaii, Feb. 10 (UPI) -- Professional surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost an arm in a shark attack in 2003, is expecting her first child with her husband Adam Dirks.

In a video shared on YouTube and Instagram on Monday, Hamilton revealed the baby will be a boy and is due in June.

The 25-year-old said in her message she is 22 weeks along and has been surfing throughout the entire pregnancy.

"Once the belly's pretty big, maybe [I'll] just mellow it out and spend more time swimming, just enjoying the ocean and doing other activities," she explains in the video.

Hamilton detailed her 2003 accident and her path to recovery in the 2004 autobiography Soul Surfer: A True Story of Faith, Family, and Fighting to Get Back on the Board. The book was turned into a movie starring AnnaSophia Rob as the main character in 2011.

Hamilton addressed the challenges she will face raising a child with only one arm in the clip.

"I've been thinking about it, but I often forget that I have one arm," she said. "When I think about it, a squirming baby and changing the diaper ... I think how I live life, just adjust and adapt to different things, especially things that are a lot easier with two arms."

Hamilton and Dirks married in 2013.
