Isn't a Midwife medical? I thought she was when I took my medical training! :P
and your mother would of needed to take you for jabs, check-ups etc..... Maybe you have a fear of hosiptals which is increasing, due to news shock stories.
Plus the world is not "over popultated" it is growing in population, as it has been since man's first few steps. In a recent white paper it was reasoned to believe that the world can withstand a 500% increase in populous.
my mother didnt take me for any jabs... i remember my mother and grandmother arguing about it (which is strange as i was only 6months) My mother hates Dr's too and so does my father.... I remember when i was at school my parents let me stay at the others kids houses when they had chicken pox and stuff so i would catch it... never did... and even now when i baby sat my cousin when she had measles and chicken pox i never caught anything!
