Rejected for adoption due to PREGNANCY PHOBIA

All Kayleigh has ever dreamed of is becoming a mum, but she suffers from tokophobia – an intense psychological fear of pregnancy and childbirth. She is so terrified that she even avoids her pregnant friends and takes at least one pregnancy test per week. Hubby Gary is supportive, but cyberbullies have targeted Kayleigh, telling her to ‘get over it’ and saying she doesn’t deserve help from a surrogate mother. In desperation, Kayleigh applied to adopt a child through her council – but she was rejected due to her phobia. Now Kayleigh feels like her only chance to be a mother has been taken away from her. She said: “All I want is to be given a chance.”

Kayleigh’s story appeared on the Mail and Metro Online.

Pregnancy weight fear made me starve my unborn child

After piling on the pounds during her first pregnancy, Amanda was determined to stay slim while expecting her second child, Macauley. But what started as a bid to stay healthy soon spiralled into a deadly eating disorder. Consumed by her desire to be skinny, Amanda began skipping meals and exercising for up to three hours a day – gaining just 7lb during her entire pregnancy. Thankfully Macauley was born healthy, but within days of giving birth, Amanda was setting her alarm for 3.30am to squeeze in seven hours of exercise. Eventually her weight plummeted to 7st, and her hair fell out – forcing her to seek help for her anorexia.

Now fully recovered, Amanda worked with me to share her inspiring story in Woman magazine.

But all that changed when she met Martin, who Jean says has finally made her ‘feel beautiful’.

My Turkish love rat’s secret hotel romps

As soon as Sara laid eyes on hunky Hasan during a safari tour, she was smitten. She quickly moved over to Turkey with her daughter, and she and Hasan married in a beautiful ceremony and had a son together. But flirty Hasan always had an eye for the ladies and Sara couldn’t shake off the suspicion that her hunk in trunks was giving someone else an eyeful. Then one day, she was devastated to discover saucy messages between Hasan and another woman, who was begging to ‘meet up at the hotel again’. Humiliated and betrayed, Sara told Hasan she was leaving and packed her bags and moved her children back to the UK. The now-single Lothario strenuously denies Sara’s cheating allegations and when approached stated: “None of this is true. Sara is crazy when she’s had a drink.”

Sara shared her story in Take a Break.
