Resources
The local library, your midwife's bookshelf, friends who have "been there" and, of course, the Internet are all good sources of information. However, as with any source, be careful. Especially with the Internet, the information offered, as well-intentioned as it might be, may not be accurate or even safe. Do as much research as you can, talk to people you trust and go with your instincts. It's your pregnancy, and no matter what direction you decide to take, you're only as smart as you make yourself. There are a million places to start getting an education; here are just a few. Note: Links on the page below will take you away from the www.myMidwife.org. Use your "Back" button to return.

There are so many things to consider during pregnancy that there's no way this web site can address them all. If you have more questions (and undoubtedly you will), turn to other resources.
