Expectant mums share anxiety after Co Derry maternity unit closure decision

Pregnant women have spoken of their anxiety following a decision to close the maternity unit at their local hospital in Co Derry.

Health authorities announced last week that they intend to press ahead with plans to halt births at the Causeway Hospital in Coleraine, with expectant mothers asked to move to labour wards at Antrim Area Hospital instead.

The decision came in the face of opposition from a local campaign group and pregnant women are now sharing their stories with Belfast Live in hopes the decision will be overturned.
