I've posted about looking for a job as a CNA in the L&D unit nearby, and hopefully being a RN there, too someday. Does anyone have any good sites on hand that have a lot of info (conditions, abbreviations, examples, whatever) about L&D, labor, baby, pregnancy health I can use to catch up on?

Thanks!
