Natural birth, home birth, and midwifery pose a <em>huge</em> threat to the status quo. There are so many OB/GYNs in this country. What would they all do with themselves if midwives took their rightful place as the primary caregivers for the majority of pregnant and birthing women?</p>[/quote]Actually....there are a SHORTAGE of OB's in this country because so many are going to GYN only due to incredibly high malpractice insurance premiums for OB. There are more women seeking OB care than there are OB's to see them...which could be one reason OB's only get those 5 minutes at appointments to talk to you...also, some women only want 5 minutes, so *shrug*<br><br> </div><br><br>
