If you are living in Yorkshire and had, or are soon to have your first baby over the age of 35, I would really like to hear from you. I would like to interview you between 0 and 24 months after you have had your first baby.

Did you find yourself unexpectedly pregnant in your early 40s?
I am looking to speak to a woman who became pregnant unexpectedly in her early 40s after having already had previously children (who will probably be in their teens) with the same partner. The feature I'm writing is for Essentials magazine (UK-based, published by IPC) and is all about news and trends in Contraception, but also highlighting the fact that it's still an important issue for women in their early 40s/pre-menopause to consider and deal with - ie despite the overwhelming messages in the media today that most women 35+ are no longer fertile/able to conceive easily.
If you think your situation and experience fits the bill, do please get in touch. My email is sarah.hart1@mac.com or you can call me on 07811 610952.

Mother and Daughter Pregnant at the Same Time
I work for an independent television production company called True North. We’re currently doing some research for BBC Three. ‘Mum and Me’ will be a series of documentaries looking at the relationships between mothers and daughters in a number of different situations. I am hoping to find a mother and daughter who are pregnant at the same time.
If you are in this situation or know someone who is it would be really useful to speak to you. At this stage it would simply be a brief telephone conversation in confidence, to discuss the project in more detail.
True North has a proven track record in making sensitive and thought-provoking documentaries. This particular programme would be very simple – following the miracle of pregnancy through the eyes of two women, in this unique situation.
To see some of the programmes we’ve made please visit www.truenorth.tv. If you are happy to speak to me then please either email me, Carla Wright, at cwright@truenorth.tv or call me on 0113 394 5491.

INTERVIEWEES WANTED FOR BOOK
I'm working on a book which tells the story of a woman who, at the age of 40, was told by a reproductive endocrinologist that, in addition to her very high FSH count, that she had no eggs and no chance of becoming pregnant.
To make a long story short, she gave birth - naturally - to a lovely girl just two years ago. Along the way, she discovered more than she bargained for about the fertility industry, primarily here in America, including how clinics run their business, how pharmaceutical companies run the clinics and how too many women and men serve as fodder for the overall profit-making machinations of the entire process.
I'm looking for other women, over 40, with a high FSH count, who have gotten pregnant naturally and given birth to healthy children.
If you would be happy to share your experience, please contact David Tabatsky: tabatsky@aol.com (http://www.tabatsky.com)
