The best option for pregnant women is the one that offers a midwife or midwife. This is revealed by a study published by Cochrane, conducted by several specialists in a sample of more than 12,000 women. The objective of the study was to deepen the rates of morbidity and mortality, efficacy and psychosocial consequences of the different models of care for pregnant women. The study compared models of medical care, performed by midwives or by doctors or both. He Midwife care is associated with several advantages for mothers and babies, and no identified harmful effects have been reported.
In many parts of the world, midwives are the primary providers of care for women in their motherhood. On the other hand, it may also be doctors or GPs who have the primary responsibility for care. Another model is one in which responsibility is shared.
The study points out that the advantages of direct care by midwives and midwives is that there is a comparatively lower risk of losing the baby before 24 weeks and that it was also emphasized that in the birth the use of analgesia, episiotomy or instrumental births is reduced . The cases of vaginal delivery and a spontaneous initiation of breastfeeding also increased. The conclusion is that this care model should be offered to women whenever they wish.
