Choose from Mothering’s collection of articles and information about pregnancy & birth. Mothering recognizes parents as the experts and wishes to provide truly helpful information upon which parents can base informed choices.

Pregnancy and birth are both as simple and elemental as nature, and as complex and confusing as a maze. There is so much to be learned and decided, and yet, the birth process usually takes care itself. Here is our center to help you do both--to learn more and to relax and let your body and your baby do what they know best.

Birth Activism
Advocate for mother-friendly birth choices to make it a reality for your community.

Birth Preparation
Nine months can seem like a second or an eternity. Either way, you’ll benefit from informing yourself about the practical aspects of safe, empowering labor and delivery.

Birth Stories
Glimpse into the most precious and personal of acts: childbirth. Revel in the amazing differences, as well as the shared, unifying truths, of women’s unique experiences.

Cesarean & VBAC
Crucial information, to help you understand (and advocate for) your right to birth safely and without surgery.

Midwives & Doulas
Read about the time-honored tradition of women helping each other welcome new life—naturally, safely, and with reverence.

Pregnancy and Birth Loss
Pregnancy and birth loss brings a devastation that aches to be understood. Acknowledging the grieving process, and knowing you are not alone, can help women heal.

Month By Month
Find out what's happening in your body and with your baby each month of your pregnancy.

Homebirth
Women birth the most easily in settings where they feel safe. For many, there’s just no place like home.

Waterbirth
Water is elemental to human life: we are primarily composed of it, we need it to survive, and we gestate in a protective sac of fluids. Water also can also provide a wonderful birthing environment.

Toolbox
Natural parenting checklists, guidelines and tip sheets for your pregnancy and birth.
