I don't feel that there is one right way of birthing/raising a child for everyone, rather it's simply that a parent does whatever he/she can to make things work out. Though I'm a guy, I've researched birthing methods since my early teens and have occasionally considered being a midwife. At the very least I want to research things for my own family, in addition to sharing what I learn with friends when I can. If/when I have a child of my own, regardless of the birth method, I plan on being there for my (future) wife and child as much as possible (rather than being off somewhere else 50+ hours per week), and already find myself making choices to ensure that.
