Henci Goer, award-winning medical writer and internationally known speaker, is an acknowledged expert on evidence-based maternity care. Her first book, Obstetric Myths Versus Research Realities, was a valued resource for childbirth professionals. Its successor, Optimal Care in Childbirth: The Case for a Physiologic Approach, has won the American College of Nurse-Midwives “Best Book of the Year” award. Goer has also written a book giving pregnant women access to the research evidence: The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth. In addition, she has written consumer education pamphlets and articles for trade, consumer, and academic periodicals. Goer is in the process of developing Childbirth U, a website where pregnant women and others will be able to purchase narrated slide presentations at modest cost that will lay out what practices and policies constitute optimal care in childbirth according to the research thereby enabling women to make truly informed decisions about care.
