When is the best time to clamp a baby's umbilical cord? It is a controversial question that has perplexed maternity units for years but new evidence from Nottingham has changed practice at the hospital's busy labour ward. Mark Porter pays them a visit.

And once the initial enthusiasm of having a pedometer wears off do they keep people walking in the long term?
