Using a Midwife for Your Pregnancy (Pregnancy Health Guru)

[Curlyqactress15]

I am very disappointed with this video. an OB is a trained surgeon, and great during a high risk pregnancy, but during a normal pregnancy, a midwife is wonderful. Also, many midwives work WITH an OB and deliver in a hospital or birth center setting.

i love how its controlled to try to force you to NOT have a home birth! Clearly its been going on for YEARS or we wouldnt be here!

Up until last year (I think it was last year....) Midwives were illegal where i lived. But with that said, I thought this video was not to give information but to push people to give births in hospitals. I think a woman has a right to chose where she wants to give birth and also WHO delivers the baby. But with that said, I think that the mother has to make her decision based on her pregnancy and health and everything that could really make the biggest difference ever.

the faces at 0:25 are not the real faces! plus, they look kind of scary attached to those bodies

@Imsofliipincool LOL!!! you're totally right!! creeepy.

I agree with her. I wish she elaborated more about direct entry midwives and certified professional midwives in the U.S., who are NOT NURSES and preside over dangerous homebirths without the formal medical education or resources that are needed. Somebody needs to pull the plug on NARM. Their applications office is based on a Tennessee commune with a history of wife swapping and marijuana cultivation. Look it up!

thats so sad to hear that only 10% of births in america are done by midwifes, in england 100% of births and pregnancy are handled by midwifes, women lose out in america to much because its seen to be a highly medicated thing, im so glad in british and not have to fight for my choices to have a natural meds free delivery with all my children

My midwife can give pain meds and even pit to enduce labor if necessary!

A great video to watch is "The Business of Being Born" it's a documentary on what hospitals and doctors encourage birth to look like. I guess you have to ask yourself would you rather your birth be treated like an oil change or would you rather a human experience? Midwives are very educated people who specialize in the birthing field. In Ontario, they travel with equipment equal to that of a level 1 hospital facility and are University educated.

To say that midwives cannot adminster emergency services is blatantly false. Midwives are trained to deal with emergencies - they might not do c/sections but they don't sit on their hands in an emergency! This is awful,

[MeridethLynne]

As a midwife, I am very disappointed with this information. Midwives CAN give pain medication and order epidurals......WAY TOO MUCH MISINFORMATION!!! Try again, please....next time get it right.

It is sad because schools are teaching nurses that midwives can't do much. Things have changed and they need to get their stories straight.

[maarakailet1]

This video is biased toward hospitals making money.

[GuitarRockinChick18]

for the REAL facts on midwives view the video here on youtube called "Home Birth". Just because a midwife cannot do a C-section, doesn't mean they don't have the ability to have transportation before delivery begins! Don't let fake docs like these fool you, please be educated about midwives!!!!
