On Mother’s Day this Sunday, WNBA players have something new to celebrate this year. The WNBA is providing new family-friendly benefits under its new collective bargaining agreement that give more support and protection for players who want to expand or start a family. 

According to the new agreement, players are receiving new family-planning benefits that require fewer years of service and now extend to their partners and spouses. Pregnant players can veto any attempts a team might make to trade them.
