Amanda- I’m so glad you love it! Thanks for commenting! That’s the goal – to get the Pelvic Nerds to say YAY…and the Pelvic Novices to become interested in becoming Pelvic Nerds!
I’m thinking about adding more MRI and CT anatomy. What do you think? Any other requests?
Hi Tracey What a lot of work and great resources- well done! Also thought I’d mention Pelvic Floor Recovery books as patients resources for therapists to help back up their treatment sessions with their patients. The ebook of Pelvic Floor Recovery Essentials is about to be released. Sue Croft

Excellent! I’m glad this is helpful.
I have a new 3D female pelvic soft tissue anatomy DVD that has recently been released. I looked everywhere on the site for a way to contact you directly about getting it listed here but could find no direct email address. How do I go about getting it listed? You can check out what I have to offer at the following link: http://www.midwiferybooks.com/3d-pelvic-anatomy-dvd.html
Thanks!!

Thanks, Anne! It is now visible in the comments section and I can add it to the pelvic anatomy resources in the near future.
Regards,
Tracy
Dear Tracy, Sure would be nice to have a direct email address for you that wasn’t so public to discuss logistics, but in the resources list I would like to post an explanation of what my DVD offers and a picture of the cover or even a small slide-show if I can figure out how to do that. What format does that need to be in? Just to be clear (although if you visited my website your probably figured this out already), this is an item I have for sale so I am not sure what your protocols are about announcing such things on this resource list. Thanks for your quick reply.
please see my other post, I didn’t see this reply arrow to your comment before I sent it. Thanks. Anne

How wonderful! I am interested in all of this as it relates to pelvic floor injuries like cystocele and rectocele specifically caused by birth trauma.

I don’t know if it’s just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering problems with your blog.
It appears like some of the written text within your content are
running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to
them as well? This might be a issue with my
browser because I’ve had this happen previously. Kudos
I’m not having any problems. I use Firefox. Good luck.
