Resources and Reading

At New Life Midwifery we encourage women and their partners to access as much information as possible to ensure they are able to make fully informed decisions and choices, are prepared for birth and for parenting their newborn.

Below is a list of suggested books, DVDs, websites and organisations that we have enjoyed and find helpful. Whilst extensive, there may well be other great resources not included. Please let us know if you have other favourites which could be added.
