Midwives will be joining other NHS workers in England in a strike over pay next month.
The Royal College of Midwives announced 82% of its members voted in favour - the first time they have ever been balloted on industrial action.
They will join other staff, including nurses, healthcare assistants and porters, in the 13 October walk-out.
The strike will last four hours, but the RCM said midwives will still be there for women giving birth.
Instead, it will be ante-natal and post-natal appointments that will be affected by the strike which starts at 7am.
