28th August 2010: Interviewed by The Mail on Sunday

Needless to say it was a family outing and I was surrounded by the kids when the mobile rang.

Pregnancy and Fitness

Pregnancy is a time when many of us stand back and reassess – often for the first time – our attitude towards having a healthy lifestyle.
