Midwives have become an increasingly popular choice for childbirth attendants in recent years, as they offer a more natural and holistic approach to childbirth. They are trained to provide care for women throughout pregnancy, labor, and the postpartum period, and can assist with both normal vaginal deliveries and those that require medical intervention. Gynecologists and obstetricians may also be involved in childbirth care, but they typically have a more medicalized approach and may be more likely to use interventions such as epidurals or cesarean sections. Ophthalmologists are not trained in childbirth care and would not be involved in this role.
