Laws and regulations should be in place to protect birthing families, not harm them. Having an outdated law that restricts midwive’s availability to obtain, administer life-saving, and evidence-based medications is not helping VA families, it is hurting them. Please update this outdated law. 

These medications are already within our CPM scope of practice. 

I question the motives of anyone opposing access of these medications for midwives. How can anyone oppose mothers’ having access to these standard of care, evidence-based medications?

Please update our regulation so that CPMs can practice within our full scope.
