According to reports the woman, known as DD, has had five children in 10 years and all of them have been taken into care.

The reason DD, who is in her 30s, is now being forced to have her sixth baby via caesarean is because it emerged that she had her third baby at home – with the help of a pair of BBQ tongs.

DD is said to have a phobia of hospitals, leading to her refusing medical help for her other births.

Declining medical help has seen DD suffer from seizures, haemorrhages and even a stroke.

As well as her strong fear of hospitals, DD is also described as 'delusional' and is on the autistic spectrum.

Following the home birth using the tongs, DD's baby became malnourished from being fed only cup-a-soup for a week.

Because of this, DD was deemed a risk to her and her baby's life and authorities forced their way into her home and took her to hospital to have the caesarian.

Hospital staff have been authorised to use retrain in sedation if necessary.
