I had a midwife-assisted home-birth. It was by far the best choice for me and my baby. My baby and I had a perfect birth experience. There were many, many reasons why I felt that a home birth was by far a better option for me than a hospital birth. One reason was that the women on my dad's side of my family have always given birth at home with professional midwives because my dad is from England and that is still standard practice in the UK. My great aunt and cousin are both professional midwives in the UK. Virginia needs to allow trained midwives to do their jobs. Midwives need to be allowed to administer medications that can really, really help mothers and babies! It needs to be easier for midwives and their clients to access these medications. There is no reason to restrict midwives from using the medications that they are trained to use. Please stop unnecessarily restricting midwives' access to medications to use during out-of-hospital births.
