" Jill Duggar\u00A0is suddenly facing a lot of heat for a midwifery mishap that happened two years ago.\u00A0 Tiffany Nance, whose birth was attended by\u00A0midwife Vanessa Giron and Jill (Giron&amp;#039;s apprentice at the time), recently claimed that she doesn&amp;#039;t think Duggar is qualified as a midwife. Why? The Arkansas native stated that when she gave birth to her daughter, Jozzie, two years ago, it was Giron&amp;#039;s negligence (she refused to call 911 despite Nance allegedly begging) that the mother claims\u00A0resulted in her child being born with cerebral palsy.\u00A0 Both Duggar and Giron held certified professional midwife (CPM) licenses in Arkansas, which can sometimes be confused with a certified nursing midwife (CNM). The latter demands\u00A0rigorous education, while the former comes with uncomfortably relaxed requirements. Though of course Jill is not at fault for Jozzie&amp;#039;s condition,\u00A0if she been training for her CNM licensure, she would have at least known better and\u00A0called 911 to put Nance at ease.\u00A0 Today, neither woman is\u00A0listed as a licensed midwife with the state of Arkansas (Giron&amp;#039;s was revoked after the state found her negligent in Jozzie&amp;#039;s birth). And while Duggar has stepped out of the midwife\u00A0game completely while she tends to her little ones at home,\u00A0Giron is apparently back in biz in Oklahoma.\u00A0 [H/T She Knows] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
