So says an advertisement for a textbook for midwives on obstetric emergencies that appears on the website of Midwifery Today, a self-described business whose mission is β€œto return midwifery care to its rightful position in the family; to make midwifery care the norm throughout the world; and to redefine midwifery as a vital partnership with women.”
