Do you enjoy reading and commenting on the “My OB Said What?!?” website? Do you read something and wonder how someone else’s health care provider could possibly have said the same thing as yours did? Are you amazed and dumbstruck by the statements made to women during the childbirthing year?

Do you have any MOSW statements that you could contribute, outlandish, funny, crazy or just darn insulting things that were told to you or someone you know?

MOSW needs some more submissions! We want to get the word out far and wide that your experience matters! Would you help us by asking in the places you “hang out” electronically if women could send their submissions to our team, by emailing submissions@myobsaidwhat.com.

Share our request on your electronic bulletin boards,  your local moms groups, your due date clubs, blog about our website on your own personal blog, sharing your fave comments from past MOSW blogposts, add us to your blogroll and ask your readers to share with us, their own stories.  Help this go viral!

Then, look for more posts in the future that make you say…”My OB said WHAT?!?”

Thanks for your support!
