"The news of yet another baby having to be delivered at home is no surprise. It would be interesting to see the true figures for mums delivering before they make it to hospital. My brother-in-law delivered his daughter when his wife gave birth in the hall floor on 1st June. My daughter was not examined when she presented at hospital, told to go home and then advised to take paracetamol. When her husband called insisting he was bringing her back to hopsital, he was told that she would just be sent home again. They were met by a midwife who said "she's not in enough pain" to be near delivery. On examination she was taken directly to the delivery suite, where she had a baby boy. It seems that the the hospital will ony admit mum's to be when they are ready to delivery. This is time when Mums need care and reasurance. Current practice puts the life of mothers and babies at risk. "
