Midwives can do it
 

As stated in numerous comments previously we have an opportunity to serve our community with midwifery in places where access to healthcare is limited. It is an amazing alternative to birth your baby without all the unnecessary interventions that you would receive if you were to birth in a hospital. Additionally you are not exposed to all the germs that people carry into there from illness. Midwives are medical professionals and carry the skill to make judgement calls when the use of medications is necessary. It’s silly to withhold this from them. Open up the doors!
