March 16, 2007, Newsletter Issue #229: Use a midwife
Tip of the Week
The obstetrician has an invaluable role in the management of high-risk or complicated pregnancies and deliveries. A midwife is not a lesser-trained OB; she is of an entirely different profession. Her training is in assisting mothers with normal pregnancies and labors. She also knows how to recognize potential problems that warrant an obstetrical consultation.
While an OB is highly trained in what to do when something goes wrong, the midwife knows that things usually go right, and her role is to facilitate the mother in her birth. She feels she has done her job best if, after the birth, you feel you didnīt need her.
