I also believe that the midwife will help me to continue to follow the best possible diet during the day of my work, and on the days when I see before the delivery, she could help me remember that it's for the baby. A midwife may be better trained than a doctor to deliver babies and will most often have more experience. Under the Midwives Act, 1902, the midwife must be trained to actually be able to call herself a midwife. I would also choose a midwife over a doctor because of the number of births that take place, there aren't enough doctors to take care of them all, and with a midwife I have the guaranteed to have someone to take care of me during my delivery.
