Yeah, the wrong time to figure that out is at the spur of the moment. That's not a midwife issue.

Didn't realize no one was connected enough for C-sections. Must be rough - RIP. Maybe go fill out that survey about being poor under Trudeau and then get some NegRep.
How will you ever be The First or be Elboya without some C-sections?
Another here that used a midwife with babies born at the hospital. The level of care you get with a mimdwife is amazing in comparison to a regular physician. All of your checkups are done by the same few people and you are in and out of the hospital within a few hours of birth.
To fit in... using a regular physician is builder grade in this circumstance.
See when we had our kid. We had all that, except with a real doctor.
I don't think I'd be able to look at my tub the same. No matter how many people bleached it.
Just to jump in on the complications talk. When my daughter was born, she wasn't coming out and her heart rate started dropping so they did an emergency C-Sec 10 mins later. Turns out she had a true knot in her umbilical cord, and if they had continued to push there would have been great risk to baby and to my wife as the cord, with the knot in it, was not long enough to allow for a normal birth. That shit scared me. I often think about if we had been doing a home birth what would have happened. It's why before the wife got preggers again we agreed on planned C-sec.
Just my 2c.
Are hospitals jails now? You can leave anytime you want. They cannot stop you.
This thread is appropriately derailed now.
They're there to provide information to help you make an informed choice, and support and enable you through the process, but like any service provider, some are better than others at this and struggle to separate their own perspectives from your needs. (Realtors, midwives - who knew there were so many similarities)
Midwives have actual responsibility
Baby delivered as-is?
This is 100% the way. However for our 2nd, we didnt make it to hospital so baby came in front entryway. That was quite the event.

Definitely, so much better than traditional doctors. Leaps and bounds. Plus they get paid less, save the taxpayers some dough
Yeah those doctors are a rude, overpaid bunch.
In some cases yes. For some things like surgeries, radiology, anesthesiology I think you 100% need the extensive training a doctor has. Midwives have proven (in my mind) like many things in this world, if you focus on and study / work toward being an expert at one thing only, you can do a great job.
No need for doctors to spend 8-12 years studying to deliver most babies.
Having SOME highly trained doctors available for when shit hits the fan with complicated pregnancies is definitely desirable.
