[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only Certified Midwives (CMs), Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) are able to hold themselves out as midwives in America.  “Midwife” as a title, connotes at a minimum, graduation from US Department of Education accredited program, regardless of variety in state licensing laws.

I have had two amazing experiences with all three types of midwives, they also consulted easily with MFM, I had all routine testing and ultrasounds and my kids are up to date on their vaccines...and I gave birth at home. It’s not for everyone, but it certainly wasn’t lesser care. The OP is maligning an entire profession based on someone who isn’t even recognized as a member of it.

Nah, CNMs are ok.  But the rest are hacks - why would you want a hack delivering your child?  In many states, "direct entry midwives" can be licensed and perform homebirths with barely any training or healthcare background.
