One-in-Five Women Forced to Wear Masks During Labour at UK Hospitals

14 May 2021 One-in-five British women who gave birth in December were told to wear masks during labour, a poll suggests, despite medical guidance advising against it because it could cause “potential harm”. The poll of 936 women conducted by the charity Pregnant Then Screwed and seen by BBC News revealed that some 20 per cent were ordered to wear a mask by medical professionals attending them at births, including 10 per cent having a natural birth and 50 per cent having a caesarian section. This was against the recommendations laid out in a briefing document from the Royal College of Midwives (RCM) and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG). Despite one in five women being told to do so, the RCM’s Dr Mary Ross Davie, who wrote the body’s guidance on mask-wearing during labour, claimed she believed such instances of women being forced to do so were “very rare”.

Nearly one in five pregnant women in the UK were forced to wear a face covering during labour, according to research by a charity, despite official health guidance saying they should not be asked to do so. Women described feeling unable to breathe, having panic attacks or even being sick during labour because they were made to wear a face covering.

Women described feeling unable to breathe, having panic attacks or even being sick during labour because they were made to wear a face covering. The research was carried out by the charity Pregnant Then Screwed, who surveyed 936 women who gave birth during December. It found that 160 of those who went into labour were made to wear a face covering. This goes against current joint UK guidance, published in July 2020 by the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.
