What is a midwife?
Midwives provide care for pregnant people and their newborns from conception, to delivery and up until 6 weeks postpartum. Midwives are fully funded by MSP.
Choice of Birth Place
Our midwifery group attends births at Abbotsford Hospital and also at home. If you are interested in homebirth, our midwives will discuss homebirth with you in your first appointment.
What makes midwifery care different?
Midwives are specialists in normal labour and birth. We work with our clients to plan and prepare for a healthy pregnancy, and we are with them throughout the entire labour and delivery on their birthing day.
We provide breastfeeding support in hospital and at home. We provide home visits during the postpartum period, which is greatly appreciated by our clients recovering from birth. Postpartum visits are a special time where families are getting to know their new baby, midwives respect and honour this transition with support and understanding
