Call for submissions of both bad and good experiences around pregnancy and birth. (My Ob Said)
Hi everyone! The mod was so kind to allow me to post my request here.
I've recently been assigned a co-mod of "http://myobsaid.wordpress.com/", a page dealing with anecdotes of people who had rather bad experiences with healthcare professionals. The main audience is women, the main topics pregnancy, L&D, everything around birth and aftercare, and nursing. The website is a continuation of the sadly inactive My Ob Said What webpage. As we're new, we don't have many submissions yet, and the owners of the original site are not available to share the submissions they received previously and didn't get around to posting.
Now I'd like to ask you for submissions of both bad and good experiences around pregnancy and birth.
As it is, you submit your anecdotal experience via email (*edit* myobsaid@gmail.com) and it is posted anonymously (in context), leaving it up to you to comment later and reveal yourselves or not.
I've seen how many people here love to share birth stories or post questions when they've been startled by their healthcare staff, so I thought some you might be able to help us out. On the old blog, people loved reading and discussing the stories shared, but they also used to hold raffles for amazon vouchers to get submissions - as we just filled in and are not making profits or anything from the blog, we're neither willing nor interested in doing that... as a result, we solely rely on submissions given to us. Furthermore, if you know someone via Facebook or other social media who could be interested in posting, I'd appreciate if you could pass our email on. (As I understood it, the choice of a wordpress blog was made because the original site had a similar form, personally I would have preferred a LJ, but it wasn't my choice. :P)
Hoping to hear from you, and I'm wishing you all a great new year, and of course wonderful pregnancies and even more beautiful births!
Kind regards!
