If you only look at one online resource to prepare for your birth, we recommend it be this one. Evidence Based Birth takes all of the latest evidence on birth-related topics and breaks it down into easy to understand articles. Their site is easily searchable to find just the information you need. Topics range from due dates and gestational diabetes to induction and circumcision. Every article is unbiased and based strictly on the latest evidence.
