Detroit News Examines Debate Over Certified Professional Midwives' Qualifications

�The Detroit News on Tuesday examined the fence between the medical community and base birth advocates over where women should give birthing and wHO is best qualified to perform deliveries. According to CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, about 1% of births annually ar performed outside of hospitals.



The American Medical Association last month issued a statement that aforementioned the "safest setting for labor, delivery and the immediate postpartum period is in the hospital, or a parturition center within a hospital complex." AMA and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists also hold said a hospital is the safest place to give nascency because medical staff ar readily available if complications arise. The groups too have said that physicians and certified nurse midwives, who have got formal nursing certification, ar the almost appropriate professionals to oversee deliveries. Certified nurse-midwives ar licensed in all states and to the highest degree often recitation in hospitals or medical centers.



However, many home birth advocates take said that formal breast feeding certification is not necessary for a midwife to oversee home births and that certified professional midwives, who do not have nursing enfranchisement, are able-bodied to supervise births successfully. About half of states license CPMs, although many midwife advocates are calling for linguistic universal licensure of CPMs to expand birth options for women. Many medical groups have aforesaid CPMs, wHO must pitch 40 infants to be certified, do not receive enough training to palm complications.



Steffany Hedenkamp, communication theory coordinator for The Big Push for Midwives Campaign, said medical groups' efforts to limit CPMs ar "anti-competitive," adding, "With this integration of [CPMs] we see increased access to care." Erin Tracy, an ob-gyn at Massachusetts General Hospital, said the 40 deliveries CPMs are mandatory to oversee is "less than ... interns do in one calendar month," adding, "You need more of a medical setting to empathise medical complications" (Detroit News, 7/29).
