History
The charity was first established in 1964 when eminent obstetrician Professor Will Nixon was touched by the grief of a young man who had lost his wife during childbirth.

The charity changed its name in 1972 to "Birthright - The National Fund for Childbirth Research". In 1975 Birthright agreed to work with the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
