A member asked:
Obstetrician or nurse midwife or mfm--who is best?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What for?!: Midwives can manage most normal pregnancies and deliveries without complications. Obstetricians can handle most pregnancy and delivery-related minor complications safely. Maternal-fetal medicine specialists are best trained to manage the most complicated of pregnancies and deliveries (e.g. When a fetal anomaly or serious maternal health condition is present).
