Bill would create Wyoming board of midwifery

February 9th, 2009

A bill that would create a state board of midwifery and provide more options for women who wish to give birth at home has cleared the Wyoming Senate.

The bill heads to the House after passing the Senate 28-2 on Thursday.

Currently state law permits only certified nurse midwives. A certified nurse midwife is a nurse with a master’s degree who is licensed by the state Board of Nursing to deliver infants at homes.
