A pregnant woman says she is "gobsmacked" that the maternity unit where she was due to give birth is being closed for safety reasons.
Yeovil District Hospital is temporarily shutting its birthing units on Monday 19 May after failing to meet staffing regulations in its paediatrics service.
Jem, who is 29 weeks into a high-risk pregnancy, said: "I am extremely nervous about giving birth as a first-time mum, so moving hospital is not ideal.
"I'm classed as high-risk due to the IVF and due to my previous complications, so I have to have a consultant. I can't do a home birth and really don't want to move to a hospital more than an hour away."
