What would you do if someone showed up who gave birth unexpectedly at home or in the car or in some other unplanned emergency childbirth?
Are you implying that the only women who doctors have trouble with is those of us who plan to give birth at home with or without pre planned doctor back up? Not too many doctors are willing to back up homebirthers, even if they have a midwife attend.
Just curious what your really mean.

I mean that I do not like having the responsibility of an OB patient who had NO local OB care on purpose. Then when something goes wrong thinks it is a good idea they have done so. Plus the fact that the mid-wife works without any contact with the local physicians. We have no idea what they are doing till they show up in the ER. This by their choice not mine. That is bad care. If they would ask and let us know and have records at the hospital if needed then that would be another thing. But they do not ask they demand. The nurse mid-wife does not even call to let us know they are coming or what is going on. Bad care. It is called dumping a patient when a physician does something like that and can get you sued pronto.
