      ab: This study analyzed midwife and doula information on pregnancy and childbirth websites originating in the U.S. A two-fold sampling process of top Google search results and purposive sampling of pregnancy and childbirth websites was used. Most websites published articles about midwives and doulas making it relatively easy to find information if one were to search, but not necessarily if browsing commonly used websites. Themes on the websites' scant discussion forums evidenced readers' interest in midwife and doula services. Findings reveal a need to make discussion forums and midwife and doula services more accessible on pregnancy and childbirth websites.
