I can still remember the wonderful midwives who delivered my son 1978 and my daughter 1979.However I feel that the high standards that they could provide are impossible now with the cutbacks and increased workloads that prevail today.Hardly a week passes when there is not news of overstretched services and mothers left alone in labour for hours at a time.Seondly post-natal care seems to have nearly disappeared.I shall be writing to MP's and feel that it is vital that a way is found for independent midwives to continue to work in the community.The maternity services in the NHS vary from superb to diabolical.
