Women will read hundreds of reviews and spend far too much money on creams that claim to erase or avoid the appearance of stretchmarks. But let’s face it: Those buggers aren’t…
February 18, 201511th May 2014 was my due date. I had been advised by the doctor to book an appointment on this day if my waters hadn’t broken by then, so I had booked an evening appointment.
