|Date=2021/05/13
|NCN=[2021] EWCOP 33
|Court=Court of Protection
|Judges=Holman
|Parties=A NHS Foundation Trust, An Expectant Mother
|Sentence=Agoraphobia and pregnancy
|Summary=The expectant mother's severe agoraphobia meant she might not be able to travel to hospital even if that became medically necessary. The court decided that: (1) she lacked capacity to make decisions about the location of the delivery of her baby; (2) it was in her best interests to be taken to hospital for a planned delivery, using force and involving deprivation of liberty if necessary; (3) she had capacity to choose between induced labour and Caesarean section, and between local and general anaesthetic.
