[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to understand more about how nurse-midwives operate in England.  My understanding is that the Royal Family uses midwives, but the best OB-GYNS are also in waiting at the hospital and perhaps giving more active advice about whether intervention is warranted.  Anyone with more details?[/quote]

The NHS is in the middle of a national scandal over the behavior of midwives in many units. All mothers have to see midwives to start, access to
physicians is restricted, access to C sections is restricted, epidurals can be hard to get as women are pushed to get gas and air, they do tons and tons of forceps to avoid C-sections, they actively try to promote vaginal birth to keep costs down, etc. It is not a system you should have any interest in, no matter what you saw on Call the Midwife or how lovely it might sound. Read specifically about Morecambe Bay and all the infants who died there due to the negligence of those midwives.
