I hope you have enjoyed looking at my website and found it informative.
As a Doula, I love to learn more and more about pregnancy, birth
and related topics (which allows me to do my job well). I know this also applies to most mothers and fathers
to be, so I have added some links and information you may find useful:

www.doulauk.org.uk - Doula UK has information about doula's, Hardship fund, questions to ask a
birth/postnatal doula etc.
www.babyledweaning.com - Baby Led Weaning has information about letting your baby decide as and when you should introduce
solids.
www.bellydance4bumps.co.uk - Belly dance for bumps is a great exercise and information DVD, I can highly reccomend.
Great for pregnancy posture and a fun exercise to keep you motivated!
www.hypnobirthing.co.uk - HypnoBirthing, The Mongan Method. This site is very informative and explains
