check to see if there is anything on the patient education forum on allnurses, here https://allnurses.com/forums/f63/ . if you can't find anything there, try sending a pm to vickyrn. she is a clinical instructor in ob. she might have some weblinks or be able to tell you where she has posted some. she has posted a lot of helpful weblinks on allnurses, but i couldn't begin to image where they all are.

i have some ob links that might have some other links to information on them:

• http://wps.prenhall.com/chet_london_maternal_1
  
• http://www.brooksidepress.org/products/military_obgyn/home.htm
  
• http://www.childbirths.com/euniversity/mainpage.htm

outside of those, you might try looking on some of the larger medical center patient information sites, especially hospitals that specialize in maternal care or even some of the larger insurance companies. many are now putting patient information and teaching online. also, you might try the medline plus website to see what they link you into for maternity care since they also have a lot of patient education and resources on their site.

hope that is the kind of help you were looking for.
