Ar 12 Mai, cyhoeddodd y Sefydliad Cenedlaethol dros Ragoriaeth mewn Iechyd a Gofal (NICE) ei ganllawiau drafft ar ofal menywod iach a'u babanod yn ystod y cyfnod esgor. Mae’n argymell y dylai menywod sy'n profi beichiogrwydd 'didrafferth' (risg isel) gael eu hannog i esgor mewn uned dan arweiniad bydwraig, yn hytrach na mewn ward esgor draddodiadol.
On 12 May, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) published its draft guidelines on the care of healthy women and their babies during childbirth.  It recommend that women with straight forward (low risk) pregnancies should be encouraged to give birth in a midwife-led unit rather than a traditional labour ward.
