How iVillage changed my life
continued from page 1
'Some good has come from my losses.'
CL Natalie Cox:Mums of Babies Due July - Sept 2002 & Jan - March 2003
'I found iVillage UK at a time in my life when I had suffered immense upset. I had experienced a miscarriage followed by an ectopic pregnancy, resulting in major abdominal surgery, in the space of four months. Three months later, in July 2001, when I started spotting in another pregnancy (which again ended in miscarriage), my husband located iVillage UK through a search engine and introduced me to the boards.
They provided me with incredible support and comfort and I learned that I was not alone. To be able to use iVillage as a member and a Community Leader has helped me immensely and highlighted and enhanced my own personality. My work as a CL has made me feel so very appreciated as I get many thank you responses and such lovely posts from other ladies in recognition of the replies I give to their posts.
Overall I am a much happier person thanks to iVillage. Also, I feel that some good has come from my losses, as I have been there and able to support other ladies (and sometimes their partners too). I'm delighted to say I did have a successful pregnancy in 1998 so I can also share pregnancy symptoms with members and pass on advice as well.'
'I am far more fluent using my computer.'
CL Ingrid Khan:Let's Talk About Pets & 50 And Up
'Having retired from my business in the fashion world, my life now revolves around my horses, dogs, cats, houses and, of course, my dear husband.
'When I began CL-ing Let's Talk About Pets I felt obliged to be able to answer all the queries the members came up onto the board. Not always knowing the answers offhand I started pulling out various books and started surfing the net. I am far more 'fluent' with the usage of my PC than I would have ever been, had I not been presented with these challenges through joining iVillage.'
