My wife is a midwife. Can confirm that this is not only common, it’s actually one of the better case scenarios. 😞

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a woman you hire to assist with home births, typically because you don't trust doctors. It's a traditional profession. The type of person who hires a midwife instead of a doctor tends to be conservative.
