[quote=Anonymous]March of Dimes supports midwifery care for low risk pregnant women and shares that in the US low risk women are less likely to have a c-section than the same risk group of women working with an OB. Of course, midwives are individuals just like OBs so there will be varying levels of care between both. The midwifery model of care promotes birth as a normal physiologic occurrence and are able to manage typical complications of pregnancy and labor. OB model of care starts with the idea that birth is inherently risky and needs to be managed. You can have a wonderful birth with either, but if you have an opinion about how you want it to go, you may be better served by one or the other. You can have an epidural with either at GW. https://www.marchofdimes.org/materials/Final%20midwifery%20position%20statement%20August%2029%202019.pdf[/quote]
