Childbirth

This category is for some pregnancy and all childbirth websites that are health oriented. We are looking for websites that have a decent amount of specific content that relate to the health of the mother or baby before, during, and shortly after (several weeks) childbirth.

Sites listed here will provide useful health-related information about childbirth. Please select the most appropriate subcategory if possible.
Sites which exist mainly to sell products will not be listed here, and belong in Shopping/Health/Reproduction_and_Sexuality/Pregnancy_and_Birth/.
Sites about non-health matters (baby products, baby names, baby pictures, etc) should be suggested to Home/Family/Pregnancy or one of the subcategories there.

Caesarean

This category contains information about Caesarean birth and Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC). The websites here are designed to help pregnant mothers prepare for Caesarean or VBAC births, as well as to give them the information needed to make a decision between the two. These website may contain information for or against either type of childbirth and are in no way a personal reflection of the position of the dmoz open directory project.

Education

For sites concerning childbirth educators of various types. Including childbirth certification organizations, individual educators and major childbirth education organizations.

Sites listed here represent trained educators, organisations and classes.

Sites offering stories, advice and tips about childbirth do not belong here. If they are from a personal perspective they belong in Health/Reproductive_Health/Pregnancy_and_Birth/Childbirth/Personal_Pages . Other general information belongs in the main category.

Homebirth

This category is for childbirth topics relating to birthing at home only. The parent Childbirth category is about childbirth health issues which means this category should contain health related websites.

Unassisted homebirth information needs to be submitted to the Childbirth/Unassisted Birth subcategory.
