« Birth in 11th Century Cambodia | Main | The end of the week »

When I was in Thailand on holidays over Christmas, I was given the first copy of the Thai edition of my book “Preparing for Birth: Mothers”. This has been an ongoing project over a number of years, and became a team effort as two midwives and an obstetrician worked to create a Thai version. The format has been altered slightly to make it suitable for sale through bookshops but otherwise, it is the same, with the illustrations etc as in the earlier English edition.

I was very surprised to be in a small supermarket complex in Chiang Mai and to discover stock of it on the shelves in the small bookshop. Enquiries revealed that it is selling very well - very heartening for the Childbirth and Breastfeeding Foundation of Thailand who will benefit from the profits generated from sales.

I will be going back to Bangkok at the end of February for the official launch and we hope to generate a lot of publicity so that Thai women learn of this book’s existence. There is certainly nothing like it there at present!

Great to see this book being promoted in Thailand, ANdrea!

I wonder when you'll have it translated into Portuguese for the Brazilian market.
We have now (despite our absurd and abusive high ceasarean rates) a comprehensive range of Childbirth educators and the voice of those who fight for natural birth is starting to be heard and acquire some room in the media
