An app is being developed to help women choose where to give birth.

Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust has been chosen by the National Health Foundation to develop the app with ?75,000 of funding.

The idea for the app started after the Birthplace Study revealed home births or birthing centres were just as safe for women with "low risk" pregnancies.

The app will be put into practice over the next 15 months. If it is successful it will be rolled out nationally.
