Hi.
Flip has added my birth story to the front page and I was just curious what people thought as I am thinking of putting it forward to a magazine to be published. I'd also like to thank everyone for their kind comments so far.
Is there anything that should be changed/shortened/added to? I havent included some of the extra stuff I went through - only really the spd.

It was a moving and very well written story I thought Madz. I went all teary at the amount of pain you suffered & when you had to go in the wheelchair. Some ignorant people are not even worth ranting over.

I read it and thought that ought to be in a magazine as your symptoms may help others who are suffering and don't know why, your story really made me think about the pain you must have suffered and this may help people with partners with this condition understand how they are feeling and the after effects that you are have from this condition, i would definitly like to see this story in a magazine and think you should go for it.

I thought it was already in a magazine. It was an amazing story Madz and very moving, I can't believe all that you had to go through and the incident you told of the wheelchair and the supermarket was unbelivable. You should send it off to a magazine and I don't think it needs altering in any way. xx

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I will have a look around and see what magazines would be most suitable.
I am currently writing part2 which starts when Edward is around 4/5months when the SPD returned and I hope to complete that part when I have completed my acupuncture and am hopefully well on the mend.

Just read this again... havent looked at it for ages and it brought it all back - not just how much pain I was in but also the joy of seeing my healthy baby boy for the first time. I'm all teary now.
Am going to look into magazines which might be interested in the morning.
