Specific Study Topics (More to come...)

Birth

See the links I've gathered on labor, interventions in labor and other pages on my birth page.

Embryology/Fetal Development

Embryo Development Overview Helpful images.

Fetal Development A few cool links on Valerie Malott's birth pages. More for the consumer than the student, but worth a peek.

Human Embryology A bit messy and old, but some good links and info.

Obstetric ultrasound A very extensive site with lots of information, images, and links. Lots of fetal images as well, if you are studying fetal development.

The Visible Embryo Wonderful!

Possible Complications of Labor, Pregnancy and Birth

Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report --- Recommendations & Reports Index 1996 This is a place to down load a copy of the CDC's report on Group B Strep.  You need to have acrobat to read the file.

See also the links I've gathered on labor and birth complications.

Pregnancy

Laparoscopy.com - Clips- Ectopic Pregnancy It seemed worth including. There's a somewhat unusual plug-in to download to see the clip.

ONLINE PREGNANCY TEST - Signs of Pregnancy - Sex Pregnant Basic info in a useful format.

Polyhydramnios - CYBERMED - Cyberspace Medical School Obstetrics Module A useful basic outline.

Ultrasound

Obstetric ultrasound A very extensive site with lots of information, images, and links. Lots of fetal images as well, if you are studying fetal development.

Vaccines

Title: GVAL Home Page Home of the global vaccine awareness league.  A good place for information.

I also have a couple of links on my Kid's Health page.

Varicosities

Most of these are basic info links. Some of them are links to self-help and alternative treatment information.

Cardio Vascular Botanicals - HealthWorld Online Helpful, but not specific to varicosities or pregnancy.

Doc Weil Database - Varicose Veins A very small amount of general information.

Miscellaneous Discomforts of Pregnancy From the Fensende archives. Includes info on varicosities.
