who delivers babies in US?

Published

hi there. i'm a final midwifery student in dublin, ireland. i love my job, and love being with mothers in labour and the actual delivery of the newborn. i do watch programmes on childbirth from the US and it seems to me that most babies are actually delivered by doctors? i'm wondering if this is a realistic portrayal of what actually occurs, or are there still practising midwifes, who do the actual delivery? i'm not talking about complicated cases, but in the case of normal cephalic presentations... would love to know.:)
