My concerns were certainly not for the fact that this small trend would take work away from me as I could easily work 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the beginning. My main concern is for this silent little person who has no saying over something as important as the start of its life: the unborn infant.
numbers say that 90 to 95% of the births will go well and do not need any interventions but what happens in those 5 to 10% where the infant’s well being is at stake and there is no one around trained to face the emergency?
I am the first one to admit that maternity and childbirth are today are subject to too many interventions (the caesarean rate has never been so high in history) but I would not go back to the start where when something went bad we just raised our shoulders and said “c’est la vie!” (that’s life!- or not).
