Midwives

(click here for more info on Midwives)

A certified nurse midwife (C.N.M) is a registered nurse who has completed additional training in nurse midwifery. They are certified by the American College of Nurse-Midwives and can deliver babies in the hospital. Licensed midwives (L.M.) have completed training according to their state's requirements but do not need to be registered nurses. They are available for homebirths.
