Why an OB?

Why? What makes healthy women (carrying a healthy baby) choose an OB over a midwife? Is it the flexible appointment times? NO. They don't have those. Is it the hour-long, one on one prenatal appointment? NO. There's not enough time. Is it because you get treated as an individual, not a "file"? NO. There are too many patients. Is it because OBs are specially trained to handle a natural childbirth? NO. They aren't required to attend one. So what is it? Is it habit? Is it lack a midwives in their area? Is it fear?
