A member asked:
Are midwives really important now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure.: Midwives can provide care for the majority of low-risk pregnancies and are particularly useful to contain costs associated with healthcare provision while maintaining a high quality of prenatal and perinatal services. They should all function in close association with obstetricians and/or maternal-fetal medicine specialists to assure proper case management and up to date information.
