The Royal College of Midwives annual legal birth conference in London last week concluded that ‘women can’t insist on a home birth if the NHS doesn’t have the capacity to provide it’. A leading Barrister Barbara Hewson was quoted as saying: ‘If you can’t send a midwife out to a home birth, then you can’t. This needs to be explained to women. The NHS may not be able to give them the choice.’

Yesterday Sky News published a story suggesting that the Government was failing mums to be and that pregnant women are still not receiving consistent care from a single midwife during labour.

Have you ever wondered why so many women start to labour at night ? it is instinctual behaviour- it is DARK, QUIET, free from PREDATORS so mothers choose to bring their young into the world as it is safer- how amazing !
