222 Voices Tell the 'Enduring Power' of Childbirth Records: Publishing the 1st BABYSTORY Episode Award Collection

Overview Commit Corporation (Headquarters: Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture), the operator of 'BABYSTORY'—a service that delivers records of childbirth from hospitals—has published an anthology of works from the 1st 'BABYSTORY Episode Award.'

In this project, the company solicited episodes from families who used BABYSTORY, reaching out to 20,236 individuals and receiving 222 submissions. Eight episodes were selected to illustrate how these birth records have supported mothers' mental health postpartum, and they have been compiled into an anthology.

Background of the Project BABYSTORY is a service that delivers photos, videos, and messages from the moment of birth from hospitals to families. A common theme among the 222 episodes submitted was that these 'records of the day of birth' did not remain merely as memories of the event; rather, they helped mothers recall their 'initial wishes' when they felt lost or distressed during parenting, providing vital emotional support.
