A BABY boom has pushed maternity services in the UK to a "crucial tipping point", with midwives under intense strain and hospitals struggling to cope.
The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) says there is a massive shortage of midwives after some areas of the UK had seen a 50% rise in the number of births in the last few years.
In a report to be published in parliament tomorrow, the RCM warned that an extra 5,000 midwives were needed.
