      There is no mandatory certification system for midwives. So you might get lucky and get a former emergency room nurse, or you might get unlucky and get someone who believes crystals will stop the bleeding or turn the baby around.

        Wow that must be a US thing then, NHS in the UK definitely doesn’t send unqualified midwives into the field!

      To a point, but if there is a major complication like hemorrhage they call an ambulance and have thoughts and prayers no one dies on the way to hospital.
