My mom used techniques she learned in her Lamaze childbirth class to give birth to myself and my three younger siblings, but today Lamaze International is also a fantastic resource for quality information regarding pregnancy, childbirth, and the newborn.

Lamaze has two web sources for information, Lamaze.org is for Parents, and Lamazeinternational.org is for Birth Professionals. I particularly like Lamaze International's blog, Science and Sensibility, for up to date information.

Some of my favorite articles include:

Lamaze Six Healthy Birth Practices

Finding a Healthcare Provider

Epidurals Don't Slow Labor? The Devil is in the Details

Happy reading!
