friends and links
This page offers links to lots of other birth, midwifery and related sites. 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!

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.
