Online Learning

Email and Other Online Discussion Forums

• Chat - Pregnancy/Childbirth Active.  Located at a good site on the topic.
• news:sci.med.midwifery The big news group on the topic, although there was no activity last time I checked. 
• news:sci.med.nursing Another news group which may be of use.
• Midwife Info on the Fen's Ende email list, where students are allowed to lurk quietly and learn.

General Resources/Link Indexes

• InteliHealth - Home to Johns Hopkins Health Information: Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary A good place to start when looking something up!

Specific Study Topics (More to come...)

Birth (Including images of births)

See the links I've gathered on labor, interventions in labor and other pages on my birth page.

Embryology/Fetal Development

Embryo Development Overview Helpful images.

Human Embryology A bit messy and old, but some good links and info.

Obstetric ultrasound A very extensive site with lots of information, images, and links. Lots of fetal images as well, if you are studying fetal development.

The Visible Embryo Wonderful! (Down last time I tried it.)

Nutrition

Nutrition during Pregnancy and Breastfeeding A good starting point for information!

Placentas

Placentas - Pregnancy/Childbirth Net Links A great collection of links!

Possible Complications of Labor, Pregnancy and Birth

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report --- Recommendations & Reports Index 1996 This is a place to down load a copy of the CDC's report on Group B Strep.  You need to have acrobat to read the file.

See also the links I've gathered on labor and birth complications.

Pregnancy

Laparoscopy.com - Clips- Ectopic Pregnancy It seemed worth including. There's a somewhat unusual plug-in to download to see the clip.

Suturing, Etc.

Super Glue for Wound Closure From the fensende archives. What do you think?

Ultrasound

Obstetric ultrasound A very extensive site with lots of information, images, and links. Lots of fetal images as well, if you are studying fetal development.

Vaccines

Title: GVAL Home Page Home of the global vaccine awareness league.  A good place for information.

I also have a couple of links on my Kid's Health page.

Varicosities

Most of these are basic info links. Some of them are links to self-help and alternative treatment information.

Miscellaneous Discomforts of Pregnancy From the Fensende archives. Includes info on varicosities. (Down last time I tried it.)
