Obstetricians and certified professional midwives have differing philosophies when it comes to ushering babies into the outside world.
However, a bill before the General Assembly might bring them into a closer working relationship. At least, that’s the hope of certified professional midwife, Brynne Potter.
Del. Matt Lohr, R-Harrisonburg, has introduced a bill that would amend the regulation of midwifery.
It would require that midwives inform patients of potential risks associated with delivering at home, “including but not limited to special risks associated with vaginal births after a prior C-section, breech births, births by women experiencing high-risk pregnancies, and births of twins or multiples.”
