During a recent visit, a midwife said that it is illegal to give birth in the UK without a midwife present. Excepting accidentally early deliveries in the backs of cabs, this puts the kibosh on knit-your-own-yogurts and ferals in the West Country wanting to pursue "freebirth." Or is it a closed shop on midwifery? And if a midwife delivers her own baby, is it legal?
