I dont buy the mag yet but would love to see "real preg bodies" all stretch marked up and normal looking hehehehe.
Ok thats my 2c worth

I would like to see stories about couples and how long it took them conceive, both naturally and medically assisted.

I would love to see things on natural products that are safe during pregancy and whilst trying to conceive, herbal tea, etc
Maternity fashion - I know this is featured quite regularly - love it!
Multiple c-sections
Dealing with stress whilst trying to conceive and when pregnant
Cute premmie wear, for babies born pre term

Thank you P&B is a great mag

I would like to read and let other mums to be know about Strep B.

How important it is to get a swab done at 35 - 37 weeks. To make sure when getting it doen to make sure you havent been on abtibiotics. Also there is a risk of a fales reading.
Also if your baby is born with strep b.

My DD has strep b. Thankfully due to the quick response of the hospital staff Abi was treated ASAP. And now is in full health.
However this is not what happens for everyone.

I knew very little of the risk of strep b.

Sadley babies and mums have died from this. And not all hospitals test women for strep b.
Sad because it is so preventable

There are some great ideas here already

But here is mine as well...some people have already said them

* Real pregnant bodies....love that idea
* Multiple C-section infor
* More stories...
* Stress in pregnancy..
* Real stories about how long it took people...and not just the 1 month happy ending ones...

Maybe there could be stories from women who were pregnant or are currently pregnant with twins or more as to how they are managing or managed through there pregnancy & what tips they can give to others in the same situation.

Maybe an article on the resources and classes you can do before bub is born to help increase your chances of BF successfully. Things like ABA's Breastfeeding Education Classes, getting a membership to ABA (since you also get a free book) going to group meetings, talking to lactation consultants (if you perhaps have problems like flat or inverted nipples or previous breast surgery) and stuff like that. Also including stuff about getting baby to breast ASAP after birth and mums having a feeding plan as well as a birth plan (eg if mum can't feed bub or hold bub then dad is to have skin to skin etc). These things are skimmed over at most antenatal classes. Things like trying to stop midwives shoving your boob into bubs mouth and more focus on baby led attachment. I know this stuff gets mentioned in M&B as well but I feel getting the info to mums while they are pregnant will do a lot.

I totally agree with what you have said Phoenix there needs to be more public awareness when it comes to bf how to prepare for it while pregnant.
I seriously wonder if my hospital really prepares women when they are pregnant even though it is a bf friendly hospital as I went to a bf class run by my hospital and there was only me and one other woman there. It was worth while for me but I really think there must be more women who would have attended too if they knew about it. Same goes for the hospital promoting ABA as my bf education class got cancelled due to me being the only one who had my name down for that class.

I'd like to see more articles on

*IVF and assited conception
*infertility issues
*secondary infertility
*antenatal depression
*planning baby showers (would have been so handy for me 2 years ago)

Ok thats my 2 bobs worth
