There are serious complications that can take place, behind the scenes, where a midwife is not educated well enough to handle. In this case, the doctors are the ones who step in and save patient and infant lives. The doctors are the ones that deal with these situations that the public are unaware of. Doctors are more intelligent than midwives and always will be. This is getting very old and out of hand... maybe the reason why they are gone is the reason why they need to be gone. Midwifery can be a great service, but is not always the answer. The doctors are great and love what they do, just trust them and you will not be let down. Happy delivery!!!
