This is the National Women's Health Information Center Web Site. Established in 1991 to improve the health of women and girls in the U.S. through innovative programs and by educating health professionals. They also motivate behavior change in consumers through health information. They offer free women's health information in over 800 topics through a call center and this Web Site. The topics are pregnancy, breastfeeding, body image, HIV/Aids, girls health, heart health, menopause, hormone therapy, mental health, quitting smoking, and violence against women among a host of other topics. They have a breastfeeding hotline (800-944-9662) and a ton of calculators some of which are for immunizations and screenings, symptoms and tests, food and diet tools, quitting smoling tools, and mom-to-be-tools that include a baby shopping list, basal body temperature chart, childcare checklist, babysitter checklist, due date calculator, ovulation calculator, and a pregnancy quiz.
