Clients(birther and Baby) of birth centers and home birth deserve ease of access to the possible life saving medication as well as every medication that is routinely given in hospital. We are trained professionals that should be able to work within our license.Our clients should not have to go to a 3rd party providers to gain access to medications, then be asked after giving birth to push a needle with medication into their baby or their own bodies. This is a rather scary concept to alot of people. 

While taking a new look at our regulations please keep in mind that allowing out of Hospital CPM's to carry and administer pitocin & or misoprostal for the purpose of postpartum hemorrhage, lidocane for suturing in the postpartum, Vit-K for newborns to prevent VKDB, erythromycin opthalmic ointment for newborn eye infection should be allowed by the state of Virginia as it is under our licensure
