Another Terrible Birth Story

What has gone with America and childbirth? Why are women being stripped of their birth rights? Can someone please give me answers. Can it really only be the malpractice insurance? If you want to be an OB/GYN you should only perform surgery, as you do not labor with the mom nor do you ever see her in the hospital until it is time to push. Anyone can catch a baby who needs you for that. Women need you for emergencies only, for surgery and complications so stick to that. If you are the rare OB?GYN who actually labor with a mom and gives her comfort, telling her body knows exactly what to do I would love your info, as I am looking for “good” mother friendly and baby friendly doctors for moms looking for natural birth.
