You know in thinking about this it really hits close to home.  I am a
student midwife.  However you can be "just" a midwife, a direct entry
midwife, a lay midwife, a Certified Professional Midwife, a Certified Nurse
Midwife, and I am SURE that I have forgotten a few, oh wait also a Licensed
Midwife.  It is up to the consumer to know which level of care she wants.  I
think if we can leave this choice up to the consumer, then maybe we should
also leave the whole CLC, CLE, IBCLC debate up to them too??  Just a
thought.
