There are calls for more workplaces to sign up to a Maternity Pledge to be more supportive of pregnant employees and new mothers.

A Glasgow based mum wants more workplaces to sign up to a Maternity Pledge so firms agree to be more supportive of pregnant employees and new mothers.
Susannah Dale had her first child five years ago and she found herself struggling to cope.
