Be a pregnancy book detective
Do you know what’s in the pregnancy textbooks about OC? Well, I had a quick look today (11 October) and out of three books there was only one very cursory reference! We need to address this so that we can make sure that these books include it in future editions and I need someone who would be prepared to play detective for me!
If you have some spare time to be able to trawl all the places where they might sell pregnancy books, your job will be to make a note of the book, author and, more importantly, the publisher and year of publication so that I can send a generic letter highlighting their omission (or incorrect information). I did this with the Bounty pregnancy book back in 1993 and managed to lobby a few other publishers, but the OC work has become so big now that this is something I haven’t be able to keep on top of.
If you think you can help could you let me know and I will contact you to discuss how we can raise awareness of the condition and, possibly, reduce the risk of stillbirth by ensuring that all publications mention OC.
