"Thousands suffer ?frightening? births in failing NHS care,? The Daily Telegraph reports, alongside headlines in the Daily Mail and BBC News website about ?Worry as women left alone in labour?.
These headlines stem from a national survey of women?s experience during pregnancy, labour and birth in England, conducted by the Care Quality Commission.
The findings of the survey ? in which 23,000 women took part ? were mixed.
The CQC concluded that there have been improvements in some areas of maternity care in the last three years. It says that there has been an increase in the number of women reporting feeling more involved during antenatal care and birth, and an increase in the number feeling they were treated with kindness and understanding.
