Ryan, I thought this blog post was very interesting because you (and me) are guys and, likely, we don't have to go through anything as unbearable as birthing a child.
I would also say that I never would have considered my wife and I to have a midwife deliver our child, since it is so unheard of in society today. We truly overlook this "field" because we have doctors who can deliver babies healthy and more efficiently; but at the same time its way more expensive. I believe the video said a midwife would cost around $5,000 and a doctor/hospital at $12,000. That is a huge difference!! (That's the price of a used car to drive on campus).
Now that I have seen this video, I definitely would consider a midwife to help my wife deliver in the future. They seem like they know what they are doing and its cost-effective too. I mean hospitals are great too but again they just care about getting people in; treating them; and getting them out, to help another patient that needs to recover from a cold or what-have-you. All the hospitals care about is money and they really don't care about their patients' overall well-being. That is just said to me when you think about it.
