[quote=Anonymous]Because I know this will come up, not all people who call themselves midwives are Certified Nurse Midwives. A midwife who practices in a hospital in always a CNM--they are licensed RNs with additional graduate-level education specifically in midwifery and women's health. Some birth center midwives are all CNMs. I believe all the Birthcare midwives are. The midwives at the center I used (not in DC, and sadly since shut down) only had CNMs. Occasionally, CNMs, like the ones at Birthcare, will also do homebirths. Home births are where you will run into people calling themselves midwives when they have little to no education. As an aside: is anyone else bothered that a medical professional, albeit outside of their specialty, doesn't understand the role of a midwife?[/quote]
