• Holston Midwifery Services - 10 Reasons to Use a Midwife... A good list, providing a somewhat subtle comparison.
• Maternitycare A great article on Faith Gibson's website.
• Midwife vs Physician: Study Looks at Difference in Rate of Intervention An interesting study.
• Midwives less likely to deliver surgically A brief article by the Detroit Press.
• Midwives May Halt C-sections Cool article at childbirth.org.
• Parent Soup: Obstetrician vs. Midwife An excerpt from The Birth Book by the Sears'.
• ParentTime - The Midwife Difference A general comparison, emphasizing "births attended by midwives are safer."  Refers to the conclusions of a recent study.
