This book came about through my experience as a first time mum and sharing it with a very special group of people, my antenatal group.
Ten couples all having their first baby, we met in the later stages of pregnancy and somewhere between breathing exercises, viewing graphic images of child birth and practicing breast feeding with a dolly, we became friends.
It is a collection of our birth plans and our birth stories, as well as our correspondence during the first tumultuous six months after the babies were born. Without our families close by we ventured out together, a group of new mums who discovered the mother within, together.
