When people think of having a baby delivered they think of doctors and hospitals. But there is a growing movement of women who are wanting to go more natural. To have a more natural mode or nature of delivery, there are some women who are foregoing the medication during delivery.
Part of that movement of going natural is using a midwife to deliver a baby. There are many advantages to this that we are going to look at in this article.
Some people, first and foremost, think using a midwife to deliver a baby is not safe. They think that the safest practice is having a baby with a doctor, since they have all the medical equipment needed. But definitely this is not true because most midwife deliveries are only done with safe pregnancies. In other words if there is any history of complications it will not be performed with a midwife. Other then that as a midwife I know first hand midwives know what to do in medical emergencies.
Another criticism is that, normally, midwives will not be using any medication that women definitely need. That is false because women don't need to have drugs for delivery. Drugs, as a matter of fact, are the major reason why most pregnancies take so long. Because the drug is disrupting the natural delivery, it can normally cause the birth to stop. I have seen first hand as a home birth midwife how much faster natural deliveries are. So there is absolutely no need for medication and besides, it can just probably hinder the delivery.
Another vivid and widespread criticism is that midwives are basically not doctors. It does not actually mean that they don't know what to do medically, while that is true. All midwives absolutely need to go through a hard and legal licensing and certification process. This process teaches them what medical procedures may need to be performed in certain situations. As a certified midwives practitioner I know first hand that midwives are prepared for emergencies.
As you can see, having a baby with a midwife definitely has more benefits than with those people would have you to believe. It is safer and helps you have a faster delivery then with medications.
