More US Women Birthing The Old-Fashioned Way by Julie Taboh A small but growing number of women in the U.S. are choosing to give birth using the services of a certified nurse-midwife rather than an obstetrician. The number of midwife-attended births -- at home, in birthing centers and in hospitals -- reached 8.6 percent of all births in 2012. VOA's Julie Taboh reports on this trend. __________________________________________________________________ [1]http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2502665.html References 1. http://www.voanews.com/media/video/2502665.html
