On 23 April 2009 the Childbirth Choices campaign was launched with the unveiling of leaflets, brochures, exhibition panels and a stand alone website.
Baroness Julia Cumberlege, whose work led to a revolution in the way childbirth choices are offered, visited the Grange Maternity Centre to see first hand the range of choices available to expectant mothers at Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.
