'If body hair turns you off good riddance'

Abbey Robb, 44, is a psychologist from London.

For me, deciding to stop shaving was a gradual process, but I quit it for good around five years ago. As someone with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (a condition that may leave skin more prone to breaking or bruising), freeing myself from the mind-numbing, fiddly task of shaving my legs, pits and bits felt liberating. And by not having to worry about my body hair, I've got more time to focus on other self-care rituals that I find more satisfying, like expressing myself with make-up.

'THAT'S NOT MY BABY'

Lying in the hospital bed, my husband Michael had tears of happiness in his eyes as he showed me a photo on his phone. 'Here she is,' he said proudly. 'This is our beautiful baby girl.'I stared at the photo and shook my head. 'No, that's not my baby,' I said.
