Life's Little Journeys - My Pregnancy, Week 4

The fourth installment of a week by week account of my recent pregnancy - as seen on the just released Baby A-Wake Complete Antenatal Exercise and Wellbeing DVD.Hope you enjoy following...

Week 4 - Of course I have no idea that I am pregnant. We've had a few mishaps in the past and we haven't banked on definitely being able to have another child. Let's say I am not exactly counting the days to my next period. So life as normal then...Another big weekend - Friends hen night!!! Oh God! It has to be said that my poor little baby was not only conceived under a big slosh of fizzy stuff but had to endure yet another night of alcohol. I have it on good authority that at this stage it wouldn't do baby any harm - not that I'd be drinking if I knew I was pregnant but the fact is, in this first month, most of us bloody well don't know. If we don't suspect being up the duff then we can't be expected to hide under the duvet until it's time to go pee on a stick. So my lovelies, don't go beating yourself up if you did the same as me. For the first few weeks ONLY baby will be fine. Of course, if you are doing the calendar thing and cheekily marching your partner up the stairs for an opportune moment to have a bit of baby making nooky, definitely lay off the hard stuff - it's good preparation for the months to come. Now, little egg - you are currently burrowing yourself into the lining of my uterus and working on what you do best - growing! This can cause a little bit of spotting, hence why many of us think we are having another period and therefore not pregnant...Oh My...How little do we know...!

Victory Dance to Beijing

Jane Wake has just returned from Beijing where five young female athletes got a once in a life time opportunity to train with Jane.

With the backdrop of the 2008 Olympic City, the girls were inspired to further their sport, train with new ideas and set new goals. The five girls were competition winners through Nikewomen.com's 'Here I Am'Campaign.

Jane Wake is on a bit of a mission

As some of you will know, this year I have been involved in climbing the odd mountain or two in order to raise money for charity. The charity is the Rod Kesson Benefit Fund.

Last year a very dear friend and client, Rod Kesson, tragically died. Rod was an incredible man and the sort of person who would tackle all things in a positive, go-getting, humorous manner. In doing so he made a wonderful difference, not to just a few but to thousands of people's lives. Monica, Rods wife, with the help of family and friends, has set up a trust fund in Rods name, The Rod Kesson Benefit Fund, www.rkbf.org.

The fund has been set up to raise money over 2008 with the target of £20,000. Charities include; The British Heart Foundation, Breakthrough Breast Cancer and also a charity based in St Lucia in the Caribbean which raises funds to help kids further their education. St Lucia is the place where I met Rod and Monica and where at the very beginning of this year, Monica and I, conquered 'Le Petite Piton' a climb for which we set aside fears and wobbly legs in order to get to the top. This month I will tackle another challenge with Monica and also with the boxer Barry McGuigan, to climb all 15 peaks in Snowdonia in 2 days.
