FAQs

  • In Ontario, a midwife is a registered health care professional who provides primary care during pregnancy, labour and birth. Midwives also provide care to both you and your baby during the six weeks following birth. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by pager for urgent concerns.

    You will receive care from a small number of midwives, and we work hard to ensure that you know the midwife who attends your labour and birth.

  • One of the main tenets of midwifery in Ontario is choice of birthplace. So long as both you and your baby remain healthy and your pregnancy is uncomplicated, you have the choice between home, The Ottawa Hospital – Civic Campus, and the Ottawa Birth and Wellness Centre.

  • We offer a range of natural and pharmaceutical pain relief options, including TENS machines, water immersion, nitrous oxide, narcotics, and epidurals. Narcotics and epidurals can be accessed in-hospital only. Many of our clients choose a combination of pain relief options.
