Birth stories
Becky W was induced due to low iron and platelet levels
We called the hospital at 5pm on Wed 30 Oct to see if they had a bed free for me and they did, so went on in, getting there for about 6.45ish. The midwife came and booked me in and questioned why I was being induced now rather than at 10 days overdue, so I just said that’s what the consultant said and explained my theories why! I was put on the monitor for 40 mins whilst they decided what to do with me.

Anita Anon writes: "I was initially sceptical about this book, but agreed to read it to pacifiy friends, and was intruiged by it's quietly rational approach to making your body the best possible place for a baby. My husb and and I followed a good part of her suggestions (went organic, filtered water, cut down/out alcohol and caffeine, took vitamins as suggested), and fell pregnant 4 months later. So far (6 months on!) this pregnancy is going well. I would recommend this book to all couple trying to conceive, particulary if they are having difficulties, or are about to try assisted techniques, as I'm sure this can increase your chances substantially."
