[quote=Anonymous]To me it's less about whether the doctors are "epidural pushing, back labor forcing monsters" and more about the extent to which the doctors are trained/equipped to assist mothers in natural childbirth. The Wisdom midwives had a great framing of their work vs. OBs, which is that they are skilled in handling low-risk, normal births (the majority of births) while OBs are trained to handle high risk births- even if the majority of the patients aren't high risk, sometimes when you are a hammer everything looks like a nail, at least in my experience with OBs. That's their job. I gave birth with Wisdom and had a good birth and pregnancy with them, but the fact remains that there are very few places where there are trained midwives - people trained in normal birth and handling risks of normal woman - esp those that practice out of a hospital. There are few choices.[/quote]
