Childbirth in the Press

" Pregnant women are to be advised to give birth at home as part of a revolution in childbirth policy that will reverse decades of medical convention.
Patricia Hewitt, the Secretary of State for Health, is to 'challenge the assumption', prevalent since the 1970s, that the safest place to give birth is in hospital and that home births can be dangerous.
In what is being billed as a historic shift in the politics of childbirth, doctors will be told to offer all pregnant women the chance to deliver their baby at home with the help of a midwife and their own choice of pain relief."
