If you imagine that you have never been through pregnancy birth or parenting, what do you wish you knew about it. I know that many women are shocked to find that while pushing baby out many women poo,or that you can get stretch marks on your breasts, thighs, hips, and your stomach. These things I believe all women should know, imagine having the knowledge of all the things you didn't know before it happened to you,so please be as honest and descriptive as possible. If you don't remember or don't know just leave the question blank. If your story is what we are looking for you will be contacted with more details. You are doing a great service to those who are still to walk the path to parenthood. Just to conclude, just one form of communication is vital if you would like to be included in the final book, you will be contacted with a new agreement.
