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.
Midwives are registered health care providers. We provide complete clinical care. That includes information, advice and support to help you, our client, make the best choices for your own care. 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.
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.
All families welcome
