MY FAVORITE WEBSITES www.gentlebirth.org - Go to the 'Midwives Archives' for excellent information on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, postpartum, and parenting issues. www.birthpsychology.com - Home page for the Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health. I am a member of this wonderful organization! www.birthlove.com - A 'living pregnancy, childbirth and parenting resource'. An excellent source for research articles is the Cochrane Collaboration. The Cochrane Collaboration is an international non-profit and independent organization, dedicated to making up-to-date, accurate information about the effects of healthcare readily available worldwide. It produces and disseminates systematic reviews of healthcare interventions and promotes the search for evidence in the form of clinical trials and other studies of interventions. You can search their childbirth and pregnancy reviews at: http://www.cochrane.org/cochrane/revabstr/PREGAbstractIndex.htm
