If the midwife is a nurse practitioner, yes, she can probably prescribe you a mild tranquilizer for the flight. Most states allow nurse practitioners and physician assistants to prescribe routine medications. If she is actually a physician, of course she can prescribe some meds for you.
Flying these days makes me nervous, too. Good luck, and enjoy your trip!
P.S. After re-reading your post, it sounds like she is a physician. OB/GYNs who deliver babies aren't considered midwives -- they're obstetricians.
