"CHILDBIRTH: A REVIEW & COMPARISON OF ALTERNATIVES
Introduction
This research examined current practices in obstetrics to include physician and midwife birthing management, as well as alternative birthing options. The examination covers the topics from historical, theoretical, and applied perspectives. Implications are stated and conclusions are drawn related to the future of approaches to childbirth management. The hypothesis of this study is that, except when serious medical problems are involved, conventional hospital delivery during childbirth is not superior to alternative birthing options. The midwifery model of childbirth is considered to be an alternative birthing option to the traditional medical model of childbirth that remains predominant in the United States."
