Midwives have warned that maternity care services are at 'breaking point' and the 'crisis' should be tackled by the government as a 'national emergency'
The issue was reflected on placards which read"babies deserve better" and"midwives for life, not just for birthdays".
Iaa'iqa Shazati qualified just before the COVID pandemic, and says she has already attempted to hand in her notice once before but changed her mind. "You can't even give that woman that hour of skin-to-skin that she needs, uninterrupted with her baby," she continued.Hannah Rogers says she often goes into work 'feeling worried about the number of women you're going to be looking after'She said she entered the profession to"make a difference" and for women to feel"loved and cared for".
The government says there are more midwives in the NHS now than ever, with a £95m recruitment drive under way aiming to hire an extra 1,200.
