Alphia,
I have been slightly obsessed with birth/ pg information and have a significant
collection of websites that I use. I am currently 12 weeks pg but have been looking
for information for the past 3 years. I have a tendency to lean toward more natural
approach but there are a lot of mainstream sites below as well. This isn't my entire
list but contains most of the sites. Some of them are linking sites which I use on a
regular basis.
What I have found really scary is that a lot of women use discussion boards as sources
of information. Inaccurate and completely ridiculous facts get posted on these
boards by well meaning Mums and Mums-to-be that horrify me. You should definitely
check out some of the bigger discussion lists both in Australia and around the world.
I have includes some that I use or look at but most sites have their own forums or
discussion boards.
In addition to the discussion lists associated with webpages you also have the all the
yahoo, topica type elists that cover every possible pg and birth topic you can
imagine. I am subscribed to around 4 of them but there is literally hundreds and women
can just cruise around them until they find one that suit their lifestyle and beliefs.
Hope this help and isn't too much information.
Sally
