Multiple Midwives

One of the biggest decisions a pregnant women is faced with is choosing who her primary health care provider will be. Traditionally doctors have been delivering babies in a hospital setting but within the last decade or so more and more women are reverting to the ancient practice of Midwifery, involving a midwife.
