what makes a ND/midwife different from a lay midwife?
A. ND/midwives are licensed physicians, so we can help you with all of your health concerns, not just your pregnancy. We can continue to care for you and your family past the 6-week post-partum period. Although we generally do not need to use them, ND/midwives are also licensed to use/prescribe medications like antibiotics, drugs to treat post-partum bleeding, and other pharmaceuticals that lay midwives cannot prescribe.
