Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Poor women were more likely to use midwives in the nineteenth century as they couldn't afford the fees charged by physicians or couldn't access their services due to distance, language barriers or discrimination. Middle and upper-class women were more likely to use physicians, as it was a symbol of their social status and also because they had more access to medical education and hospitals.
