It can happen in any delivery where the baby is gasping and not yet delivered

Midwifery runs risk that advanced methods of swift delivery ( ie c-section) arent available -

My Son ( and I ) almost died despite presence of full medical team but luckily his lung infection was cured - a home birth would have been a double mortality

Our daughter was born overseas in the Azores. The hospital had to turn on the lights and open the maternity ward just for us. Our daughter had complications and received personal attention. They called the OB/GYN out of the base theater a couple of blocks away. And the Pediatrician stayed for days working with our daughter. It was amazing to watch Dr. Key putting an IV in her scalp with tears in his eyes. A few days later there were two other mothers on the ward.
