This page offers links to lots of other birth, midwifery and related sites. The links are divided into sections - click on the titles above to go to the links for that area. If you spot a broken link, please email us and we will do our best to get it sorted. If you know of a site which you think we should list, please let us know that too. We have included lots more sites on here than ever before, and it probably goes without saying that we don't necessarily agree with all of the content on all of the sites we link to! Each of these pages will open in another window, so you can come back here for more links anytime you like!

If you're looking for resources specifically related to research, knowledge and / or literature, you'll find them on the Knowledge Web

If you're looking for resources related to women's health, you'll find them on Sacred Cycles

And anything related to birth art (in all its forms) is on The Art and Soul of Birth

The links to amazon are the only external "ads" we have on this site, and in 2004, the percentage we got from our visitors buying their books, music, videos and games through these links paid for all the costs of keeping withwoman online ~ so thank you very much !

Is your site missing?

If so, please feel free to email us with the url and we'll look into putting it up here. The only sites we won't list are those whose philosophy does not include the notion of informed choice, or who are solely into making money out of midwives or parents.
