Hello,
My name is Sara Wickham. I’m an author and researcher who writes evidence-based books about pregnancy, childbirth and wider issues. Find out more about me here.
My website-creating career began in 1999.
As a (then) academic, I was continually being asked for copies of articles that I had written. So, with the kind permission of the original publishers, I posted many of them online.
In 2011, I moved to my current domain name and, over the next few years, began to write regular blog posts and launched the Birth Information Project, which runs alongside my paid work.
We have left this blog post – my first – up for posterity, to mark the date on which this site began, and also to help those who are searching for old articles and pages.
Over the years, I have removed some of my articles and blog posts. They became out-of-date, or were rendered less relevant by developments in knowledge or practice. You’ll still find some of the key ones here, though.
If you have landed here from a link to one of my articles, then I’m sorry that it’s no longer here, but we have loads of newer, up-to-date information that might help. There is a search bar on every page of the site which may help you find what you’re looking for.
I am also working on a project which will bring together the best ideas from those that have stood the test of time.
You can find out more about me on the About page and you may like to take a look at my books.
Enjoy the site, and thanks for visiting!
