Birth complications 'twice as common' in some hospitals Women are twice as likely to suffer serious blood loss and severe tears during childbirth in some hospitals, according to an audit of maternity services in Great Britain.
Third and fourth-degree tears occurred in one in 30 vaginal births but in some units in 2015-16 it was one in 15.
The report showed that while most women had a safe birth, there were some variations in care.
It covers 149 out of 155 NHS trusts and boards in England, Scotland and Wales. BBC News
