The objective of the study, in which 11 have participated.537 women, it has been to evaluate the attention received by midwives and gynecologists and the results of mothers and babies in women with normal pregnancies, of low and medium risk in Spain in the years 2016 to 2019.

The caesarean section drops from 33.2 to 10.4 in deliveries served by midwives
According to the study, the cesarean session for women in the registered care group was 10.4%, while the rate of caesarean sections of women treated by gynecologists was 33.2%.The national percentage of caesarean sections is 22.2%.
