Action | Disclosure requirements for high-risk pregnancies |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 8/19/2011 |
I am writing in support of the proposed legislation regarding general licensed midwives disclosure requirements for high-risk pregnancies. These disclosure requirements are in keeping with the midwives model of care. I would further suggest that similar disclosure requirements be required of obstetricians for procedures, interventions, testing, and medications that might be offered during pregnancy and the early postpartum period so that evidence based practice is supported throughout the continuum of care.
