In addition to providing clinical care during your visits, your midwife can answer your questions and concerns about your pregnancy, preparing for birth, and the postpartum.

Your midwife will provide you with clear instructions about when to page in labour. We plan to be with you during your labour, birth of baby and placenta and for the immediate postpartum period.

Our practice has privileges at Michael Garron Hospital, a division of Toronto East Health Network. If you are planning a hospital birth and in care with us, this is the hospital we work out of.

Your midwife and student will tell you when to page or call once you are in labour. They will assess your labour over the phone or in person to decide the best time for you to go to the birth centre.

Your midwives will do a home visit between 36 to 39 weeks of your pregnancy. During this visit, they will discuss with you how to prepare your home for the birth and answer any final questions you may have.
