Om denne e-boken
Why Caesarean Matters aims to navigate the research and put women at the centre of their own care so that their birth can be a positive experience, however it unfolds. The clear and evidence-based discussion addresses the questions that women and their care providers may have, enabling women to make positive decisions and feel supported if a caesarean is needed.

Om forfatteren
Clare Goggin was inspired to write this book following her own caesarean births in 2013 and 2015.
She was curious about whether caesarean birth experiences could be improved, so she created a space on social media where healthcare professionals and women could explore this together. It now has more than 400 members.
While researching this book, Clare attended study days with the Royal Society of Medicine, Women’s Voices and local midwifery forums, as well as connecting with many more stakeholders via hosting twitter chats for #matexp and #wemidwives.
She has been invited to speak at the Positive Birth Movement’s 'Be the Change' conference, as well as to local obstetricians and midwives, and has written about caesarean birth for Juno magazine and the British Journal for Midwifery.
She also draws on her extensive experiences of working to improve maternal heath in the NHS and third sector prior to having children, including supporting the implementation of local and national improvement programmes, such as Maternity Matters.
