Anna Shaw - Founder

My name is Anna, and several years ago, as an expectant mother for the first time. I thought I had finally found the path that my family and I would follow for the rest of our lives. Like countless other women in the UK and the rest of the world, the jigsaw of a wonderful husband the begining of a great career, the start of our family was slotting into place.

However a gang of strangers decided that they would end that for us. I was refused a homebirth and gave ill-informed consent to a caesarian with horrifying irreversible consequences.

We have set up this site to share my story, and the stories of other women who have been through the ordeal of unnecessary, unwanted, un-consented to and radical surgery in the most horrific and invasive ways. I lost my womb, and my chance to carry more children and have the experience of giving birth to loved and wanted children.
I also lost the quality of life most women of my age can assume.

I do not intend for this site to frighten women having children, but rather to expose a dreadful medical practise that continues to this day. Please spend some time here and read the stories we have to share. Be both shocked and empowed - shocked by a medical industry that can do such things, and empowered to help change your world for women everywhere.

If this has happened to you contact us. We can not find the true numbers unless you come forward. The hospitals are hiding the statistics, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists are not compiling the statistics, neither is anyone else. The only way is for you to come forward. If this was only ever done in genune cases, don't you think this would be all in the open? We feel that if we can do this, the media and other areas will start taking it a little more seriously. One of the first questions they ask is, how many more people we know. By doing this, we can help others.

Your feedback is very important to us. Please add your comments to our guestbook

You can read my account for more details of what happened to me.
