Lorna Wyse, 32, Worcester When I fell pregnant in 2010, I was so happy. Having a baby was a dream for me and my husband Chris, now 32. Stocking up on toys, clothes and nappies, we counted down the days to meet our little girl. I had a normal pregnancy and was feeling prepared for giving birth. But, on 4 May 2011, five weeks early, my waters broke. It’s too soon,’ I cried to Chris as we raced to Worcester Royal Hospital. At the hospital, there was no stopping her – my little girl was coming into the world early. After an emergency Caesarean, she was born weighing 6lb 11oz. We named her Jovie. But we didn’t even get to hold her, as she was placed in an incubator immediately,…

By Claire Tickle, 41, Eastleigh, Hampshire when I was 15, there was one thing about my body that I hated – my weird, puffy ankles, which seemed to just appear one day. I hid them with long, baggy trousers and hoped the swelling would go away. But they just got bigger, then my legs started to balloon, too. ‘You need to lose weight,’ the doctor said. I didn’t feel I was overweight, but Mum put me on a diet anyway. Slowly, the weight dropped off my tummy, boobs and face…but sadly not my legs. They were now excruciatingly painful, too, so I returned to the GP. Still, I was told to lose weight! Deep down, I knew it was more than just being chubby, and gave up with the GPs.…

Mum-of-twins Sharon is all for keeping it real! Sharon Kellaway, 40, Kilworth, ROI Everyone loves Beyoncé. She’s beautiful, talented and successful. But even I rolled my eyes when she posted that picture announcing the birth of her twins. ‘Sure, I didn’t look as good after my two,’ I wrote, sharing her image on Facebook. Five months earlier, I’d had twins Senan and Zoe, making me a mum-of-five! I loved it, but I looked a lot more exhausted than Beyoncé. However, my friends and family didn’t agree... ‘You look great, too!’ they said. Which was when I got the idea… ‘Would you like to help Mummy take a picture?’ I asked my 6-year-old daughter Megan. I always try to see the funny side of life. So I wondered if could I…

Emma’s boy faced so much, so young Emma Smith 24, Kettering My second pregnancy had gone without a hitch and my partner James, 28, and I were thrilled with our perfect newborn son Ethan. But, a day after his birth in December last year, Ethan made a slight grunting noise as I tried to feed him. ‘How long has he been doing that?’ a midwife asked. ‘On and off all night,’ I said. Next thing, Ethan was whisked off to the Special Care Baby Unit. As he grew more tired and irritable, a blood test showed he had septicaemia. Tests showed his bowel had perforated – they didn’t know why. Waste was leaking into his body, poisoning his blood and causing his organs to fail. ‘We’ve put Ethan on life…

Anita Moss, 32, Southampton Catching the eye of the girl on the sun lounger, I smiled. She wore a white criss-cross bikini and held her phone aloft. She pouted for a selfie... lippie gleaming, hair extensions piled high on her head and glowing with fake tan. Sounds like a glamour puss, right? Nope. It was my sevenyear- old daughter Beau! She was acting in a beauty pageant as Amber Davies, 20, from TV show Love Island. Truth is, Beau’s actually always been a tomboy. She loves to play football and tussle with boys at school. However, she also loves pretty girls, like the girls on the telly who totter around in high heels and tiny clobber. Beau’s been in beauty pageants since she was 2 and has always loved watching…

Natalie’s bloke inflicted truly horrific injuries on her Natalie Smith, 29, Midlands Some of us just can’t resist a bad boy! When I met Jed Thorpe through friends, in February 2014, he was covered in tattoos, wearing a baseball cap, and full of chat. But, underneath the badboy image, he was a kind, charming joker. We just clicked, spent hours talking and laughing. Four years younger than me, he worked as a labourer and lived with his dad. I was single, living in a shared house, and couldn’t work because of hip problems. Me and Jed started meeting up and talking on the phone. Then, a couple of weeks on, he came to stay at my place, and we became an item. ‘I want to marry you one day and…

Johanne Lickers, 38, Tadcaster This was every mother’s worst nightmare. ‘I’m afraid it’s unlikely your daughter will survive for more than a few days,’ a doctor said gently. How could this have happened to us? My precious little girl Teagan was just two days old. I was utterly inconsolable. It was November 2014 and she’d arrived three days after her due date. Me and my husband Dave, then 29, were besotted from the instant we saw her And her older sisters Shannon, then 16, and Maddison, 3, were both beyond excited as well. But now we had to break the terrible news to them that their new baby sister wouldn’t be coming home with us. Teagan had been born with Patau’s syndrome – a rare genetic disorder caused by having…

JAILED: LOMBO •Horrific ordeal when trusted friend turned predator •Strangled and left unconscious •Justice...and trying to move on Megan Jordan, 17, Hertfordshire Glancing in the mirror, I applied a coat of mascara and some pink lip gloss. A typical 16-year-old, I loved doing my make-up. As I pulled my hair into a ponytail, my mobile phone beeped. It was a text from my friend Djos Lombo, 21. Meet me in an hour, it read. Djos had been dating one of my friends for a few months, often walked me to her house to make sure I got there safely. So sweet! An hour later, in the early evening, I texted my mum Linda, 52, at work, telling her I was going out. As usual, Djos was waiting down the road…

MENINGITIS From A Kiss? Krystal worried she’d passed on an illness to her baby The trouble began nine days after our son Gunner was born in May this year. ‘He’s burning up,’ I told my partner John, 30. His temperature hit a worrying 38 degrees and his breathing became rapid. And he was very sensitive, screaming whenever we touched him. Over the phone, the midwife urged us to get him to A&E, so we rushed off to Bassetlaw Hospital. By the time we got there, Gunner was shaking, seemed less responsive, and had a heart rate of 222 – far too fast. A lumbar puncture revealed evidence of viral meningitis. Hearing that, I felt like our world was crashing around us. ‘How did he get that?’ I asked. Doctors explained…

Nobody could claim Rurik Jutting wasn’t given the bestpossible start in life. Born to wealthy parents, he grew up in a Grade-II listed mansion in a leafy part of Surrey. His home was the inspiration for Toad Hall in the classic book The Wind in the Willows. It’s reported that Rurik’s mum doted on him, frequently telling him he was ‘special’. She called him Rurik because it means ‘great leader’ and was the name of a Russian prince. Jutting went to an expensive prep school, then on to a £30,000 a year boarding school. Bright and capable, he was awarded a place at Peterhouse college in Cambridge, where he studied Law and History. The high life After graduating, Jutting got a job as a London banker. And in July 2013,…

Clare Baumhauer, 44, Kent When I was 12, my mum took me to see a doctor. Itching and sore down below, I also had a burning sensation when I’d wee. It was horrible. And it wasn’t the first time. Occasionally, my life would be blighted by these embarrassing symptoms. ‘It’s cystitis,’ the doctor told me, prescribing treatment. Returning a few months later, when it persisted, I was given the same prescription. For years after, the symptoms came and went. During my teens, I became too embarrassed to keep seeing the doctor just to be turned away with the same answer. Cystitis, thrush, just use this lotion... But nothing helped. So, my life continued as usual, despite my suffering. Aged 18, I met my nowhusband Matthew. We had two kids, Chloe,…
