Giving Birth - News, Tips and Advice

For those who have never experienced childbirth before, or even for those who have, it’s always handy to draw on the experience and assistance of others. Motherpedia is a valuable online resource for the expectant mother about to be giving birth to a baby. From your childbirth options to labour and delivery stories from women who have given birth, everything you need to know is right here at Motherpedia.

Beyond the childbirth stage, we also provide advice for mothers of children of all ages, from toddlers to teens and everything in between. Meanwhile our ‘Stuff for Mums’ area offers advice and useful help on the everyday parts of life including childcare, work, money, health, fashion, travel, shopping, recipes and much more. We also like to ensure that all mums get a fair go, contributing to charities that assist mothers who need a helping hand.
