| NELSON I GAVE BIRTH AND MY OTHER SON WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER ON THE SAME DAY |
| As I handed my newborn daughter Holly to her big brother for a cuddle it should have been a moment of pure joy.
But there was a niggling worry at the back of my mind. Harvey, five, had just been down to the children’s ward at the hospital for blood tests and the results were due any moment.
I hoped it was nothing. My sister in law Jenny had been looking after Harvey whilst I’d had a caesarian to deliver Holly earlier that day |

| WOOLLARD - DOG WHO SWALLOWED 109 STONES |
| WHEN Kim Woollard’s dog Barney started feeling under the weather, she had no idea what could be wrong.
He’d been on a long walk on the beach the day before, and had seemed perfectly perky.
But when Mrs Woollard took him to the vets and they gave him an x-ray - the answer was right infront of him.
Barney had eaten a staggering 109 pebbles during his walk on the beach.
The vets found 79 pebbles in stomach cavity - and Mrs Woollard found a further 30 stones in his basket when she returned home, that had already passed through his system. |

| YOUNG. MUM TOLD SHE WOULD NEVER HAVE KIDS GIVES BIRTH TO 10TH BABY. |
| WHEN Katrina Young was told she would never be a mum she was heartbroken.
After two years of unsuccessfully trying to start a family with husband Robert, doctors discovered she was suffering from polycystic ovaries.

Mrs Young, 36, a breast feeding support worker, said: ‘For me, being a mum is the best thing in the world. |

| SANDERSON. MUM WAITED 15 YEARS TO HAVE BABY - THEN GAVE BIRTH IN 8 WEEKS. |
| WHEN Claire Sanderson had been trying for a baby for 15 years, she thought she would never be a mother.
Doctors had diagnosed her with unexplained fertility, but she and her husband Dean never gave up hope.
They kept on trying, but as the years passed, they had started to accept they would never be parents, especially as Mrs Sanderson’s periods had completely stopped two years previously.
Then Mrs Sanderson suddenly started to feel an unexplained movement in her stomach one night and as a precautionary measure, took a pregnancy test.
It showed a positive result - and her miracle baby Summer arrived into the world just EIGHT weeks later. |

| Teenager just never stop. What with dance, football and meeting friends, my 15 year old daughter Annie, was always on the go. "I don't know where she gets her energy from." I said to my husband Steve, 47, as Annie picked at her dinner then dashed off somewhere. She was a fussy eater.

| TUCKER. THEY STARE BECAUSE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL. |
| They say it never rains but it pours - and in January 2000, my whole world came tumbling down. My hubby Roger had been battling with soft tissue cancer for four years. We'd tried everything; surgery, chemo, radiotherapy. But the fight proved too much and he was just 38 when he died.
Our son Matthew was almost 4 when it happened and our baby Hannah was only 22 months. So unfair. And the bad news kept coming. Doctors suspected that the cancer we'd lost Roger to was genetic, caused by a condition called neurofibromatosis. |
