Is it safe to deliver in lying-in clinics given that only Midwives are present?

Of course it is best to have gynae to deliver for you in case there is any complications during labor, e.g. umbilical cord prevent baby from pushing out, baby in distressed e.g. dropped heartbeat or baby eating meconium before delivery. However, for my 2nd delivery my gynae didn't manage to reach delivery room on time as my labor was too fast. At that point in time, there were only a few mid-wives present to help my labor.
