Jana Pittman embodied grit, tenacity, and strength as the last woman standing on SAS Australia 2021. But her incredibly impressive efforts on that grueling reality show, which elicited the former Olympian turned doctor a legion of new fans, pale into insignificance compared to what she’s about to undertake in her soon-to-be very busy personal life!
The mum-of-four, 38, revealed in New Idea magazine earlier this week that she’s pregnant again – with twins! The babies, with husband Paul Gatward, are due in April. “We’re ecstatic,” she tells WHO during an early morning phone call from the car park of Western Sydney’s Blacktown Hospital, where she’s just arrived for a shift in the emergency department. “Adding to our family was always part of the plan. Because I’m an older mum, my husband and I agreed that we would try for another baby when our youngest Charlie, who’s now 11 months old, was 6 months old.”
Pittman admits that she didn’t fall pregnant immediately but when she did, she knew that this pregnancy was very different from her previous “easy” ones. Pittman has a son Cornelis, 14, with her ex-husband Chris Rawlinson, and daughters Emily, 6, and Jemima, 4, were born via IVF and the same anonymous sperm donor when the doctor was single.
“I’ve been so nauseous and vomiting constantly this time around,” she explains. “The fatigue has been something else, too.”
