Maternity care in Northern Ireland is facing a crisis due to an increase in the birth rate and lack of staff, the Royal College of Midwives has warned.

The number of babies born in Northern Ireland last year rose to 24,000 - 2,000 more than the previous year.

Breda Hughes, from the RCM, said staffing levels had not increased to cope with the extra workload.

"They are concerned about the quality of care, about staffing levels and about pay," she said.

Isn't this getting to be the case in a lot of areas? It's a bit scary huh? A woman arrives at hospital in labour, to find there's not enough staff to help her manage the labour and deliver the baby... *looks at bump* :blink:
