Sorry to hear about your stress. There is a difference between a midwife a a licensed nurse midwife. Usually they are allowed to do a little more. They can also be a great tool and person of advocacy in the delivery room so you and your wife can just focus kn having your baby. Midwives can fulfill many duties. Don't sell yourself short if you don't need to. If the baby is breach maybe look into getting ECV?
These midwives are licensed nurses. One is an MD. They'll be with us as doulas. Nothing major, just a minor placental tear that knocks the midwives out of being able to do an out of hospital birth without risking their licenses. We're as well prepared to deal with the hospital setting as anyone can be.
And yeah. We've had these midwives turn a baby before. It's pretty impressive.
I'll pray for your growing family.
