A research has been carried out by experts from the National University of Ireland in Galway, the University of Warwick and Sheffield Hallam University.

As per the study, it has been unveiled that midwives led delivery proves beneficial for women. The study, which has been published by the Cochrane Library, has found that the midwife-led delivery has reduced usage of an epidural and forceps.

One of the other benefits that have been found of the midwife-led delivery is that there are reduced chances of having premature birth. In order to reach at the above given result, the study researchers have analyzed data of 16,242 women who were part of 13 studies.

The studies were carried out in different countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland and Britain. After assessing the data, study researchers noticed that under midwife-led deliveries, epidural's usage got reduced by 13%.

It was also found that usage of forceps also got reduced by 12%. More women were having natural births. But the only thing was women witnessed extra labour pains.

"The review concludes that most women should be offered midwife-led continuity models of care, although caution should be exercised in applying this advice to women with substantial medical or obstetric complications", said study researchers.
