Ketlen trained with the Santos squad until the eighth month of pregnancy, an unprecedented feat in Brazilian football. Since 2021, FIFA has been implementing measures to support the maternity of professional players, including maternity leave.

During the pregnancy, the intensity of Ketlen's training was gradually reduced. She was advised to keep her heart rate below 150 beats per minute, monitored in real-time by both the athlete and the physical trainer. All training sessions were controlled and authorized by a medical team, with constant monitoring by Santos professionals.

The forward plans to return to activities in the pre-season of 2026.
