[quote=Anonymous]Your friend is describing a doula, not a midwife. A midwife delivers your baby (is there to make sure the baby is okay), unless you get transferred out due to risk factors or need a C-section. At that time you would have an OB and not a midwife -- you would not have both in the room, one for you and the other for the baby. That's not how midwifery works. A doula is there to make sure you have a good birth experience, that you understand what the medical professionals (midwife or OB) are advising/asking, to give you emotional and physical support through labor, but not to catch or take care of the baby.[/quote]
