There are quite a few childbirth e-mail lists out there. There are only a few that will support a woman's desire to become her own birth expert.
Here are a few of the more active ones...
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
EmpoweredChildbirth ~ All are welcome here, though an intro letter is now required before members are added to the group. Along with the typical discussions of pregnancy, birth options and parenting we also explore the larger issues of shifting paradigms regarding Birth, Sex, Contraception, Womyn, Relationships, Mothering, Fathering and more. Come check us out.
UnaBirth ~ A small unassisted birth list for moms and dads. A good choice if you're interested in exploring freebirthing and only have time for one, small list in your life.
Holistic Birth Parenting ~ Another list from the owners of "UnaBirth" with a more mainstream appeal.
UBAC ~ For women who've birthed surgically in the past and are thinking about freebirthing in the future.
E Birth ~ "Geared toward Unassisted Childbirth" but less strict on the definition than some UC lists.
~*~ ~*~ ~*~
By Region:
TexasUC ~ The name sez it all.
UnaBirth ~ Canadians can have some unique legal situations to address. This list will explore them as well as the standard freebirthing questions.

By Religion:
Lds-UC ~ For Latter Day Saints. Requires a letter of intention before membership will be approved

BirthAlternative ~ For Muslim families Homebirth focused with an AP slant too.
ChristianUC ~ For those who never want to see a Pro-Choice argument on their unassisted birth list (cbirth and other lists are less strict on the topic).
JewishUC ~ Not just for families choosing unassisted birth. A place to explore both birth and faith.

TTC lists:
