Guardian interviews Theo Clarke on Birth Trauma Inquiry

Theo Clarke

Theo Clarke contributed to an important article by The Guardian, released today, concerning the National Childbirth Trust's focus on 'natural births'. Ms Clarke believes it is vitally important that mothers have the right to make an informed choice about the method of giving birth. In part, she stated: 'We obviously don’t want to scare mothers who are about to give birth...At the same time, we must allow adults to have an informed choice. And I do not believe that’s currently the case in the UK.'
