The politics of childbirth:

Overly medicalised? Starved of resources? Understaffed?

Our story yesterday about one family's

tragic experience of childbirth on the NHS

has focused attention on maternity services in Britain.

But are things really that bad?

Sarah Boseley asks some of those on the frontline

Interactive map:

how does the UK's fertility rate

compare to other nations?        UK        17 January 2014

 

Global fertility rates

currently stand at 2.5 children per woman.

 

But according to the UN,

half of the people on the planet

may already be living in a country

with replacement fertility rate.

 

That means

for every man and woman in the country

there are two children

living to childbearing age.
