I had my first baby just last week – now I'll pay thousands for mummy makeover to feel like myself again
A SCOT who hit headlines for having a baby without a father wants to spend thousands on a mummy makeover. Model Heather McCartney, 36, gave birth last week after falling pregnant using a sperm donor - as she was adamant she didn't want another dad in the picture. 2 2 She received criticism from fellas who couldn't understand why she'd want to do something so big on her own. But now she plans on going under the knife too so her body can bounce back more quickly. Heather, who swapped Ayrshire for Australia, said: "I'm thinking about a little help to feel more like myself again—a new set of boobs. "Some liposuction to gently say goodbye to those stubborn bits, and maybe a mini tummy tuck or scar correction from my C-section if needed. "Having a baby changes your body a lot, so I'd love to feel comfortable and confident in my own skin again. "I deserve to bounce back in style! "Honestly, if any brilliant surgeons are reading this… let's collaborate? I'll bring the sass, you bring the scalpel.' Heather told last week how she . She said: "I had a planned C-section and no partner there. "But my mum came all the way from Scotland to be with me, which made all the difference. Half of new parents believed myths during pregnancy that turned out to be false "Having a team of supportive women around, including the medical staff, felt really empowering and reassuring. 'I'm glad I did it that way—it felt right for me. "As for offers to be the dad, I've had a few messages. "But I'm just taking things as they come and enjoying this new chapter.'

‘Superhero': Malaysian dad keeps promise to late wife, resigns from job to raise 3 children
A Malaysian father has captivated the hearts of many after resigning from his job to honour a promise to his late wife – single-handedly raising their three young sons, each facing significant health challenges, for seven years. In August 2018, Khairul Abdullah's life transformed dramatically when his wife suddenly passed away due to a severe bacterial blood infection, leaving him with three sons aged four, two, and just a few months old. To provide his children with the care they needed, he resigned from his position as a designer at a private firm on the very day of his wife's passing. He subsequently embarked on a new career as an Islamic insurance adviser, which allowed him the flexibility essential to support his family. He recalled: 'From that day on, my children became my sole priority. That freelance work enables me to be with them whenever they need me.' Abdullah left his full-time job as a designer to become an Islamic insurance adviser, a change that offered him the flexibility needed to care for his family.

I even declined my parents' help, insisting that the children not be separated from me,' he added.
