So the talk around my coworkers was the benefit of a Midwife vs the conventional OBGYN.
ALOT of the women were on the Midwife train and even advised me to get into one before I get pregnant in order to just get in...that is how full they are.
I actually never really gave it a thought, but after seeing what my friend went through with hardly any nursing supervision and not guaranteed that your OB will be there to deliver you.....i think they might be right about the midwife.
what are your thoughts?

A midwife is sometimes the choice for child birthing assistance because a mother can enjoy the delivery in the comfort of home. If this is the case, it is important to remember that a midwife only carries the basic birthing tools suited for normal deliveries. A midwife will not carry an ultrasound machine, pulse machine, or anesthesia (even in small doses or for high risk pregnancies). Even if a mother delivered in a hospital room full of equipment, the midwife still would be unable to utilize it. The reason is simple: Midwives do not have the license to utilize these tools. If you believe that your delivery requires a special tool, machine, or drug to make the whole process easier, you will need a licensed medical specialist.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

If a true emergency arises in the middle of the delivery, your midwife has no choice but transfer you to a hospital under the care of a doctor. Unless a midwife is also a registered nurse, the midwife will left out of the procedure once it has been turned over to licensed medical professionals.
