I support Grandmother Ru's views based on her experience working with women. She argues well with Grandfather Tan and it appears at times she changes his opinions on a variety of subjects especially childbirth.
I know today there are women who use midwives to help with the birth of their babies. I don't think it is a wide practice since people of afraid of having complications and would be better served to be in a hospital.
I am concerned today about women who are not getting quality pre-natal care and experience death of themselves and the unborn. Yes, I do believe there are doctors going through the motions and not caring for their patients. I hate for any expectant mother to be in their hands. Hopefully, the quality of doctors can be checked online before any serious decisions made.
