The Care Quality Commission have launched the #YourBirthPlan campaign. This is how they describe it:
"Many women aren't aware of their rights to choose maternity care. If you're pregnant, you can use our resources to help choose the right birth plan for you.
40% of women who recently gave birth either weren’t aware or didn’t feel they had a choice about their birth hospital, according to our research.
If you’re pregnant and choosing where to have a baby, use our resources to help you make an informed decision."
