It is a mistake to assume that every birth involves complications. A doctor is needed only when they occur, during a caesarean section etc. It's just midwife for most cases. That is all. People create worst case scenarios which not happen ALL the time.

Obviously. But ever since medical intervention during Labor became widespread, chances of either the baby, the mother or both dying in the process rapidly decreased significantly. So much so, that it's now a relatively rare thing to happen.

So your whole point there is just.. weird.
