Woman 'traumatised' by home birth cancellations

New mothers have told the BBC they have been left traumatised by not getting the choice of birth they wanted.

Kayla Becher said she felt "upset, disappointed and let down by the maternity service" after being told she could have a home birth, but was later taken to hospital late in labour.

Almost one in five planned home births in Brighton and Haywards Heath could not be facilitated over the past year as the service was suspended 147 times.
