Fun Fact: Hiromu Arakawa was pregnant and gave birth twice during the serialization of Fullmetal Alchemist.
She famously continued working through her pregnancies without taking a major hiatus from the monthly manga.

She says that putting 100% in all the time is not a healthy thing to do and a person should always balance between work and rest.
