Old-school birthing is back in style, with well-read women forsaking obstetricians for midwives and epidurals for warm baths.

But due to an influx of foreign construction laborers, Ng can't find enough work - he reckons he's spending 50% fewer days on the job this year compared with a few years ago. There's an abundance of employment opportunities...
