we need your stories for a book

Tell us about your baby ... your birth ... your pregnancy!

We need your voices, your opinions, theories, tips, rants and
confessions for a new book written by new moms for new moms.

So much of the available "literature" on being a mom is either
alarmist, highly biased to one parenting philosophy or just
plain--"let's face it gals, your tits are gonna sag"--ridiculous so
we're striving to put together a candid book that represents the MANY
WAYS women experience the transformation of motherhood.

If you have any free time (we know it's precious!) check out our
website and post something or take a stab at the surveys. If you've
already written something about being pregnant or having a baby, you
can send us that as well. Please include contact information on all
submissions and indicate how you would like the piece to be
attributed.

You can find out more about the book and "tell us" about your
experience at:
