They do stay home, rather than a doctor or nurses being seconds away, they’d rather have birth in their living rooms in a fucking blow up pool with a midwife. Who they trust more than literal doctors and nurses.
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.
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.

Aren’t midwives, like, experts in childbirth tho?

Wow that must be a US thing then, NHS in the UK definitely doesn’t send unqualified midwives into the field!
Yep, it’s kind of the wild west out there eh.
Yeah same in Aus, must be something we’re to civilised to understand
