Being pregnant - a blog I like
I came across this blog written by a Labor and Delivery nurse earlier this week.
I think I found it by way of a "writing a birth plan" link, but I have found several of her pages to be really helpful and educational.
For those who might be interested:

I have enjoyed:

(part 1 of a multi-part blog post) on writing a birth plan
http://nursingbirth.com/2009/07/08/%E2%80%9Cpit-to-distress%E2%80%9D-a-disturbing-reality/
on harmful as opposed to helpful intervention
and

Unnecessary induction
The last post, in particular, gives me some stuff I'd like to look up on pitocin and some notes I'd like to make should zenmoto find ourselves transferred to a hospital or in need of induction for any reason. I find this highly unlikely, but just in case . . .
