Mel Moon, 41, Lancashire Holding my baby in my arms for the first time, I was so worried. Sonny was just 5lb 13oz. It was October 2016 and, unlike his brothers Reece, then 11, and Riley, 6, he was born at 31 weeks. Then just hours after I first held him, pain ripped through me. I felt like I was being torn in half. I could barely breathe. But just as quickly as the pain arrived, it vanished. ‘Is something wrong?’ I asked a doctor. ‘You probably just had an anxiety attack,’ she said. I’d never struggled with anxiety before. But I reasoned, given the situation with Sonny, it made sense. In the following days, my blood pressure spiked. This made my mum Zina, 63, a former A&E nurse, concerned.…

His family’s ignoring us Q My partner and I met on a night out and didn’t expect it to go anywhere – he’s 26, I’m 44 – and we’ve been together a year now. He’s great with my kids and with me. I’ve been friendly to his mum and sister, suggesting we get together somehow – even offered them lifts, as they don’t drive. But nothing’s worked so far. We moved in together a few months back and they haven’t spoken to us since. I don’t want to be the cause of the tension, but I really don’t know what to do now. Rachel, 44 A I’m afraid there’s nothing that you can do. You’ve tried, and exhausted, all avenues. You’re dating him, not his family, and while it’d be…

Sharon, 49, Brighton Hearing my son James, 18, stomping about in his room with his mates, I started to worry. It was a Friday night in July 2019 and they were all off to a party. James was taking the summer off, after finishing a Business and Media course at college. He was a popular lad, but shy, too. Usually happy to spend Friday nights playing on his games console with his brother Mason, 14. Only, tonight, he’d arranged to go out. ‘You’re such a worrier,’ my husband Wayne, 49, told me now, reading my mind. ‘The parents are on holiday, apparently,’ I frowned. ‘He’ll be fine, it’s five minutes down the road,’ Wayne reassured me as James and his mates bundled downstairs. ‘Just be careful,’ I called, as James…

In October 2019, the jury found Robert ‘Chip’ Olsen not guilty of murder. However, he was convicted of one count of aggravated assault, one count of making a false statement and two counts of violation of oath by a public officer. During the sentencing hearing, Anthony’s father, also called Anthony Hill, testified about how he felt. ‘You’re hurt. You’re mad. You’re upset, and it’s like you don’t know what to think, what to do. You feel helpless because you’re his dad and your job is supposed to be to protect him and you feel like you failed because he’s not here,’ he said. In November 2019, Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson of DeKalb County Superior Court sentenced Olsen to 20 years, to serve at least 12 in jail. She said, ‘I…

Chloe Burns, 32 Lifting up her arms in that cute little way of hers, my daughter Nora, then 2, demanded a cuddle. ‘Come here,’ I smiled, feeling like the luckiest mum in the world. Me and my husband Nick, 34, had spent years trying to be parents. There were times when I thought that it would never happen. Especially after being diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome in 2013. But after almost two years of trying, in July 2015, we went through with IVF. We ended up with five healthy embryos. We used one, and stored the other four. Weeks later, we got the news we’d been so desperate for. I was pregnant. No more feeling jealous when a friend announced their pregnancy on social media. No more longing. And, in…

Anushka Fernando, 35, Guildford Watching my pug Bertie stare longingly out of the window, my heart ached. It was January 2017 and my poorly pup had endured critical surgery for a spinal condition. Poor thing couldn’t go outside and play with his friends. And by the time he was allowed back to the doggy park, a few months later, he wasn’t that into socialising any more. Wary of other dogs, he’d back away, scared. ‘This isn’t good,’ I said to my fiance James, 35, as I stroked Bertie’s blond fur. But then I had an idea... ‘I’m going to set up a pug meet!’ I announced. The next day, I reached out to other dog owners on Facebook. And, soon, Bertie and I met up with a dozen other pugs…

Lenai Schier, 32 Getting myself comfortable on the medical bed that day, I had one question on my mind. ‘Will Wilder be getting a baby brother or sister?’ I wondered aloud, and exchanged a smile with my hubby Matt. Our son Wilder, 1, had come along as a surprise. We’d tried for a few months to fall pregnant this time and now, at 20 weeks gone, we were at the scan to find out our little one’s sex. But soon after the sonographer started, my one question was replaced by another. ‘Is everything OK?’ I asked. She was stopping and starting, going in and out of the room. It hadn’t been like this with Wilder... ‘It’s a little girl,’ she said eventually. ‘But you need to see a doctor.’ Minutes…

Danielle Gardiner, 31, Hornchurch Standing at the pool’s edge, I felt nervous about my son’s first swimming lesson. ‘OK, in you get!’ the instructor said. I braced myself to hear my son’s cries. But, almost as soon as he hit the water, Noah was kicking and splashing with glee. ‘Good boy!’ I cheered. It was May 2012 and this was a huge moment. Another milestone reached. And yet, while I should’ve been happy, I felt sad. Because, you see, I wasn’t the one splashing about in the pool with him. It was my sister Zoe, 23. All because I was too afraid to wear a swimsuit in public. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been ashamed of my body. One of five girls, I’d always felt like the…

Exercise is ageing me! Q I took up running to keep fit at the start of lockdown, but my friend says it’s giving me wrinkles! Can it do this? Minette, south London A It’s called runner’s face, or race face, but most doctors think it’s a myth. The theory is that repeated bouncing from running causes skin on your face to stretch and sag, leading not only to wrinkles but to a characteristic gaunt, thin appearance. The idea that up-and-down movement can affect your skin like this is probably nonsense, and any gaunt appearance is more likely to be the result of losing weight due to running. Weight loss might make wrinkles more prominent, too, particularly if running also means you’re spending time outdoors in harsh weather or hot sunshine – protect…

MURDERER SENTENCED On 12 January 2015, a teenager was jailed for life, to serve at least 25 years, for murdering a 14-year-old boy. Lewis Daynes (above), 19, had groomed Breck Bednar online, before inviting him to his flat in Grays, Essex, in February 2014. Breck had told his family he’d arranged to meet a friend he’d spoken to online. Chelmsford Crown Court heard Breck was found fatally wounded, his throat slashed, the next day. Daynes pleaded guilty.

3 Ways to... avoid online marketplace scams If you’re planning to use online marketplaces to buy gifts this year, make sure you don’t fall victim to fraudsters, warns Action Fraud (auctionfraud.police.uk). 1 Watch out Online marketplaces may be popular but beware; fraudsters are using them to sell poor-quality or nonexistent items – so it’s essential to be on your guard at all times.
