Also my brother’s wife is a nurse in the maternity ward, and she says that particular doctors will only do C-section deliveries because they don’t have the time for a regular birth. There are a ton of benefits for a birthing centre or having a midwife at home if you’re into that kind of thing.
I appreciate the advise, thanks. I personally don't believe in naturopaths, but it's nice to hear different view points!
