Can midwives give you pills during labor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably: In most states, certified nurse midwives are independent practitioners with the ability to write prescriptions. They are very well trained. Lay midwives are not licensed and are unable to prescribe medications. Best wishes!
