Can a midwife write prescriptions?
No they cannot. Only a licensed physician can write prescriptions.
This is WRONG. A Certified Nurse Midwife and Certified Midwife are both considered midlevel clinicians and take an identical pharmacology class to an MD. We can and do write prescriptions for many types of medicines- even controlled substances (you must have a DEA# to do so- and yes many of us have them)
The truth is: Midwives, Nurse Practitioners and Physician's assistants can ALL write prescriptions.

Midwives need to know about the structure of the vagina and they need to know how dialaited the cervix needs to be for the baby to come out.

A midwife is normally the main contact during pregnancy as well as providing a pivotal role at birth and for postnatal care. By providing invaluable information, the Midwife will assist the expectant mother in making choices regarding the options and services that are available.
A midwife's responsibilities and roles are wide ranging. A midwife undertakes clinical examinations, provides health information and is key in supporting the mother all the way through the pregnancy.
Midwives carry out their work in a variety of health care settings. If they are based in a large hospital, they will work in the maternity unit. Other settings include dedicated birth centres, group practices and private maternity hospitals. The NHS employs the majority of midwives who practice in the UK. These midwives generally work in teams. An ever increasing number of midwives choose to work independently.
Midwives generally work in teams and this requires them to work in shifts. So be prepared to work in day and night shifts. You may be also required to travel from hospital to hospital, be on-call and travel around the community to the new mother's residence.
Your pay as a midwife as well as your working conditions is set by the NHS. As a newly qualified midwife your salary starts at just over £19,000 per annum. In addition, if you are on-call or working unsocial hours you can expect to earn more. An experienced midwife has the opportunity to earn in excess of £59,000.
so good luck in the future guys & try your hardest!

A (clarified, CONTINUED)
So, just where did this salary-range--so glibly stated--originate? What are the PRECISE services these folk deign to render? Of course, if the US and the UK didn't choose to be as unenlightened as, say, South Africa, and continue to cleave to the sordid notion that Persons of Disability were merely so much Life Unworthy of Life (consult the original, German, Text--the English text descends far too much into milquetoast euphemisms!), then we might (?) see the enlightened European Solution of Civildienst...it's so refreshing--making Continental pilgrimages--observing bright-eyed 18-year-olds PAing for Persons of all-sorts-and-conditions of disability throughout city, town, village, and countryside. If would should talk about the "Beloved Community," what better paradigm...

Before 12 weeks the uterus normally sits too low to be felt protruding over the pubic bone.
Starting at 12 weeks, the top of the fundus is first felt at the top of the pubic bone, from 12 weeks on - a normal growth will be about 1 cm per week gestation, from the top of the pubic bone to the top of the fundus.
At 14 weeks the fundus will be 2cm (+12) past the pubic bone, for a total measurement of 14 cm so at 27 weeks, the measurement from the mothers' pubic bone to the top of the fundus should measure 15 cm (+12) for a total of 27 cm.
A fundus/uterus measuring large for dates may indicate your due date is off, a multiple pregnancy (twins), your baby is positioned high above your pelvis, which might be the case with a breech baby, or an abnormally high amount of amniotic fluid causing the uterus to be larger than expected.
if your uterus is growing more rapidly than it should. You may also have unusual abdominal discomfort, increased back pain, shortness of breath, and swelling in your feet and ankles. If you have these symptoms, your midwife should send you for an ultrasound.
At 27 weeks your baby is between 14.5"/36 cm - head to toe and weighs 2 lbs /875 gm.
At 35 weeks your baby will be about 18"/47 cm and will weigh 5.5lbs /2.7Kg
A difference of 8 cm (8 weeks!) is too much to leave to chance, you need to get an explanation from your midwife on "large for dates" or decide if you could have miscalculated your LMP. Otherwise you may want to talk to your midwife about getting an ultrasound to determine why there is such a difference.
if you are not confident in the numbers your midwife is using you should see an Obstetrician and again request an ultrasound to determine if there is a miscalculation or if there is something going on...
