A member asked:
Why do only midwives do home birth and not doctors since studies show it is safe?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Practice types: Apart from liability concerns and costs, the practice models for the two groups are very different. Also many women become midwives because of an interest in and dedication to home deliveries.
