This blog post will take you on a hilarious behind-the-scenes tour, showcasing the word selection process and the unexpected twists and turns that made our language tool a practical resource for maternity care professionals.
Team Meetings: Where the Magic Begins!
Picture a room filled with caffeine-fueled minds and a whiteboard drowning in Post-it notes. Our team meetings were like comedy sketches waiting to happen. We brainstormed, de
bated, and occasionally fell off our chairs from laughter (those office chairs can be quite tricky). But during the hilarity, brilliant ideas emerged.
Consulting the Language Professionals: We Need Wizards of Words!
To ensure we didn't get lost in a sea of baby babble, we recruited language professionals who were masters of linguistic sorcery. They helped us navigate the twists and turns of grammar and definition, transforming our communication tool into a linguistic masterpiece.
Collaboration with Illustrators: Where Art Meets Delivery Room Drama!
Ah, the joy of working with illustrators! Together, we brought our words to life with quirky drawings, turning complex concepts into whimsical visual adventures.
Focus Groups: Real-Life Gold!
Enter the focus groups, where the real gems were unearthed. Student midwives from different cohorts became our troupe as they shared their experiences and insights. We gained valuable feedback to make our dictionary as practical as possible.
The Birth of a Maternity-Specific Dictionary: Our Baby Is Born!
After countless fits of laughter, revisions, and moments of pure emotion, our maternity-specific dictionary finally debuted. Each word, phrase, and sentence was lovingly crafted with a sprinkle of innovation. Our little bundle of words is ready to go through typeset proof, print and conquer maternity care, armed with laughter and a lot of baby talk.
So, buckle up, my friends, and get ready for a wild ride through our journey of raising our baby. Our dictionary is here to make your journey in maternity care memorable.
Amazing achievement. All 3 of you should be very proud of yourselves. This is going to change lives.
