Zoe Boreland, Lead Midwife said, “We are delighted to have the 100^th birth in the Downe Midwifery Led Unit especially on the day the new maternity strategy was launched. This has been a great achievement for the unit less than half way through the second year. We have received so many letters of support and positive feedback from all of the women who have chosen to give birth with us”. She added, “We are very confident our numbers will continue to grow steadily over the coming months. Once again we would encourage all mothers including first time mums to consider using the unit not just for the birth but for local antenatal care as well, we welcome all enquiries or visits to the unit”.
