It shows that there is an interest in the subject. For various reasons I strongly feel that Muslims should preserve natural birth options and develop these within the foil of the Umma (Muslim community).</div> <bR> <div> For this reason I have preserved the domain name. For now this is my only engagement towards midwifery left.</div> <div> For those seeking further information I strongly suggest to get in contact with the <A HREF="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ummunitedmuslimmidwives/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ummunitedm"><B>Muslim Midwifery Forum</B></A>. </div> <div> That forum seems the best materialization of our search for Muslim Midwifery on the Internet but there might be better sources available by now. </div> <bR> <div> Being the Proponent of the Usenet Group <A HREF="http://groups.google.be/group/sci.med.midwifery/topics?msg=subscribe&hl=en" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="http://groups.google.be/group/sci.med.mi">Sci.med.midwifery</A> I can only hope that one day a team of capable people will </div> <div> step forward to revive that channel of communication that is now being run by automated software (thank you Brian Edmonds).</div> <bR> <div> From the old site(s) we like to remember a few documents and graphics made available for download.
