    Ask for a Midwife

Government-funded

Midwifery is 100% government-funded. There is no cost to you, as long as you live in Ontario or make your home in Ontario. Midwives are paid by the Ministry of Health and Long term Care to give care for people throughout pregnancy, during the birth, and for six weeks after the baby is born. You need to decide to have a midwife or doctor/obstetrician for your care unless there are concerns or complications.

The Benefits of Having a Midwife

Who We Are

We work to develop relationships of trust with our clients and their families because we know this improves safety and satisfaction with the experience of pregnancy, birth and early parenting.

Meet Our Midwife Team

What We Do

We work in small teams of 2 or 3 midwives, and there is always a midwife on-call to provide care when you need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Most of your pregnancy care will happen at appointments in our clinic/office. Your clinic visits will include clinical care, information sharing, advice and support to help you make the best and informed choices.

What to Expect From Your Midwife

Our relationships with our clients are what we love about our work.

Our relationships with our clients is what we love about our work.

We work together in caring for you.

Midwives see pregnancy and birth as a healthy time in your life, and expect your birth to go normally. Midwives are highly trained to notice when a pregnancy, labour or birth is no longer normal. We will monitor both you and your baby closely during your care and birth. Midwives often work with nurses and doctors (Obstetricians), when needed, to give you and your baby the safest care possible. If you are pregnant and interested in having a midwife, please fill out our “Ask for a Midwife” form as soon in your pregnancy as possible. We have limited spots available!

“

I have been a part of Family Midwifery Care for both of my babies. My midwives walked me through pregnancy and labour with wisdom, compassion and confidence. They empowered me to be the best mom that I could be by giving me information and support as I needed to allow me to make the choices that were best for me. They will always hold a special place in my heart. …it’s hard to sum up some a powerful experiences with just a few words.

There are honestly no words to thank Isabelle & Megan for their compassion, patience & help throughout my pregnancy with my first child. I struggled with anxiety throughout my pregnancy and they always took the time to settle my concerns & make sure I was assured that things were okay! My birthing experience was amazing thanks to Megan (& Debbie). I appreciated Isabelle’s advice and decision making regarding my sons health a few days after his birth. She did what she knew was best for him. Both of my Midwives are incredible women & I am so thankful for their involvement in my pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. I will use them again should we be blessed with another pregnancy. � all of the ladies on the front desk are lovely also.read more

I have used midwives for both of my son's births. I will never forget Sarah and what she did for me. My youngest son's birth ended up being the scariest day of my life. After an emergency c-section went wrong she made sure I was able to see my husband before they rushed me back in a second time. She held my hand while I thought I was taking my last breath of air. She put a volunteer at my door to stop the massive amount of visitors I received. She came to my home and coached my husband on how to care for me and my baby. She was my angel. Highly recommend these ladies. They advocate for your needs. They keep you informed. They come to your home after baby is born!!! Best part of course 🙂read more

While we didn't have a positive outcome with our first pregnancy, I delivered our baby girl prematurely and she was born sleeping at 21 weeks, Isabelle and Megan and the team at Family Midwifery Care was absolutely amazing. They brought out every single positive aspect they could in such a heartbreaking situation. They continued my care for a month pp and went out of their way to make everything easier for us. I cannot say enough good things about these ladies, the compassion and treatment I received. I will no doubt return to their care when we are ready to have our rainbow baby!read more

I had such a great experience with Family Midwifery. Being pregnant with my first child, I had many concerns and questions. My midwives, Isabelle and Meghan, always took their time with me and ensured all my concerns were addressed and that I was comfortable. While I ended up needing an emergency c-section, the support I received from Meghan and Isabelle at the hospital was wonderful. I can't stress how amazing mine and my son's care has been! I will definitely be using Family Midwifery again when my husband and I decide to have a second child!read more

Sarah, Galya, and Nadine were awesome during my 2 pregnancies. My second pregnancy was twins and so they provided secondary support, but honestly, they were much more helpful, caring, and attentive than my OB and I definitely relied on them more heavily than I did the OB. Amazing women!read more

They are amazing. A great comfort to a pregnant mom with anxiety. They were there for me when I experienced a miscarriage & were a part of the team for my latest pregnancy. My OB helped me get pregnant this time around but he had nothing but good things to say about these wonderful ladies & he was happy to hand my care over to them when he was sure I was a "boring" patient. I have felt like they have more time to listen to me than my OB did & they've gone above & beyond to explain every step & all my options to me so I can make the best informed choice for my baby & me.read more

I have been lucky enough to have 2 of my little ones with Family Midwifery Care of Guelph. The difference in care from an OB and a midwife is incredible. It was nice to be treated like a person and not just a number being pushed through. Their knowledge and ability to allow parents to make informed decisions on your pregnancy as opposed to being told what you "need" to do. Thank you so much for all you do!read more

I absolutely loved the care that I got from Jaren and Isabel! They helped me get through my crazy birth while sticking to my birth plan(even though things happened so fast) and they helped me with any issues or concerns that came up after! I am extremely pleased that we chose a midwife to bring our son into this world because of the care and relationships we created with these ladies. I love how they always had the answers to my questions and simple tips to help out, which every new parent needs! Also how they would randomly check in with me even when I hadn't called, I truly appreciate everything they have done! I would recommend these midwives to anyone who asks and when we choose to have our next child I will be going with these ladies again!! Thank you so much!!!!read more

These women warm my heart each time I see them , or a thought of them come to my mind. We are due with your second ( any day now!) and I couldn't feel more loved , and supported. Since the first time I walked in for our first prenatal with our first , I knew this place would become a place I would adore , with women I just love. Words can't even describe how full my heart is with these women being there for the birth of my child , and soon to be children! I remember so clearly all they did for me during the birth of our first child. It was pure love. I take time to acknowledge how thankful I am for them each day. Heike and Rebecca , you two have changed my life with the love and support you offer! Your time with my family will never be forgotten. Thank you.read more

I can't imagine having gone through my pregnancy and those early days with my baby girl without the midwives. They always made me feel cared for, valued, and important. I never felt rushed through an appointment and for those times when I had to page, they always made me feel that I had made the right decision to call them. They are amazing people and provide stellar care for everyone. And I must say that being greeted by Jackie when you arrive at the office makes the whole experience even better!read more
