Web Sites and Magazines

It's going to take me a while to complete this post because there are many web sites to include. There are personal ones like mine, web sites of birth centers, midwife and doula organization web sites.

One site I visit often is: www.mothering.com. They have recently revamped it. It addresses family life in general, not just pregnancy and newborns. It is sponsored by Mothering Magazine. I started reading Mothering several years before I got pregnant because my chiropractor had it in her waiting room. I subscribed to it as soon as I was pregnant, and kept my subscription going for over 15 years. It's the only magazine I know whose editorial content is not dictated by advertisers. The articles are well-written and always include a list of references.

The forums at Mothering are fantastic too. New moms can get almost instant answers to questions because there is such an active online community.

As of 2011, there is no more print edition of Mothering, though there are still some back issues floating around.
