Unless there is something we don’t know, no young, low-risk mother-to-be requires two male gynaecologists to ‘deliver’ her baby – no matter how precious that child is to an entire nation. The best midwives know that their job is to support before and after, but to do very little in labour except observe and monitor a heartbeat as discreetly and attentively as possible. Those are the birth attendants who empower a woman to breathe her own baby into the world. Doctors are quite fabulous if emergencies arise. So why isn’t Kate keeping the blokes on standby, but letting the women do the watching?
