Below are some of my favourite online resources to inform women throughout their pregnancy:

• KellyMom: one of my favorites; one of my go-to websites for great info, especially on breastfeeding
• International Breastfeeding Center: breastfeeding Videos
• La Leche League: is an international nonprofit organization that distributes information on and promotes breastfeeding
• Save birth, Change the World: a wonderful site to promote natural childbirth worldwide
• Birth Without Fear: wonderful blog on how to be confident in your choices
• Vbac.com: information about Vaginal Births After Cesarean
• Doula Evidence: doula-assisted mothers are four times less likely to have a low birth weight (LBW) baby, two times less likely to experience a birth complication involving themselves or their baby, and significantly more likely to initiate breastfeeding. Communication with and encouragement from a doula throughout the pregnancy may have increased the mother’s self-efficacy regarding her ability to impact her own pregnancy outcomes.
