I didn't realize her baby was so early and that she had so much trepidation awaiting the birth. All's well now, and good for Beatrice to use her experience to help others.

Beatrice has come such a long way from when she was a young twenty-something. She and Edo clearly adore wee Athena. I'm glad Beatrice is taking on women's health issues, particularly during pregnancy.

I had a look at the collection she collaborated on. I'm way past the baby stage, but there's stuff in the collection that I'd love to have, starting with some of the pink and blue storks and those cute rattam hot air balloons.

A wonderful piece by Beatrice. My mother had not one, but two preterm births, medicine has come a long way since pre-1960, but there still is a lot more work to be done.
I kind of wondered when Beatrice suddenly wasn't allowed to fly to Italy for Christmas and then she delivered in Jan. instead of the announced spring birth. A lot can change during a pregnancy as we know.
