Hi The Birth Book was released at the end of last month. I had the pleasure of being involved in its making.
I requested birth stories on this list to put in 'The Birth Book' about 18 months ago. At the time I was sent around 5 stories with permission to include them in the book. The stories were forwarded onto the publisher - who chose the stories to include. Unfortunately when I migrated information onto my new computer earlier this year some data was destroyed - including the contact details of those who sent me the stories. So if you sent me a story - let me know and I will let you know if your story was included in the book.

I was in a bookshop with husband (who is the IT Manager for this chain of bookshops) and was browsing the preggo/baby titles (as is my habit), and this one was face out (bookselling term) and I'd never seen it before, so thumbed through, and saw "Jo's Birth Story". The first sentence was so familiar! And then it dawned on me. I am pleased as punch, and not at all seeking any financial or other reward, but was just wondering exactly how it got there. I think that I probably copied it to a request from this list for birth stories (and never thought anything of it) and, as I say, I am not after anything, but was just a little surprised, as had I not discovered this, I may never have known it was "in print" for real! So thank you, and if anyone can put me on the trail of the responsible (bless them), I'd like to say thanks properly. Jo -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
