Birth Matters wants to inform and encourage self-education. We have created a list of natural birth resources and links that will educate, inform and broaden your understanding about the child birthing process. Ask your midwife for specific referrals. You will find information on everything from pregnancy and parenting, breastfeeding, midwifery legislation, and various publications that support alternative parenting styles and the home birth movement.
