MOTHER-TO-BE Jo Beswick had her entire pregnancy chronicled in one of the country's leading parenting magazines.

The 26-yea-old has already given birth to Daniel, but the feature is running nine months behind in the magazine, Practical Parenting.

Jo, who lives in Allanson Road, Marlow, with her husband Jim, 28, Daniel and daughter Leanna, two, said the whole experience had been very exciting.

She added: "It has been excellent. The reason I did it was that when I had my my daughter I kept a detailed diary to give her and I wanted something similar, but different, for Daniel."

The pregnancy was far from straightforward, and Jo was hospitalised after eight weeks and had a miscarriage scare.

The magazine came and took photographs of Jo every ten weeks, when she had to dress in a black leotard and sarong to chronicle how her 'bump' was progressing.

If you would like to see how Jo's pregnancy developed, the current issue of Practical Parenting is now six months into her pregnancy.
