In Missouri CNM's do not deliver babies, they work as WHNP. This is the law here in Missouri. If the CNM's would give up their need to do home deliveries, their scope of practice would change. It seems that home deliveries is a big thing for the CNM's here. I wish they would stick to the safe hospital, and this way RN's who want to be CNM's could, and have a full scope of practice. A MD told me this, and I sure do believe her.

It is not true that in MO there are no midwives doing deliveries--I do deliveries here and the midwives that I work with have been here for four years doing deliveries. I also have friends in Kansas City that do deliveries.
It depends on the hospital that you work for/through.
