Midwives boost for home births

Record numbers of women are opting to give birth at home in Scotland’s largest city because of a new dedicated team of midwives.

Figures show double the number of mums-to-be now want home births in Glasgow and the surrounding areas.

Over 12 months in 2008 a total of 27 babies were delivered at home by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde’s team of community midwives.
