NHS trust withdraws ‘dangerous’ advice to women on how to achieve a ‘normal birth’ An NHS trust has been criticised for advising pregnant women to stay at home for as long as possible during labour to increase the chances of a “normal birth”.

The advice has been described as “shocking” by experts, who said the guidance was contrary to evidence and could be “dangerous” for mothers and babies. The Independent
