About Midwives
Midwives are health-care professionals who provide government-funded expert primary care to pregnant people and their newborns.
Through pregnancy, labour, birth and the first six weeks after birth, you will be cared for by a small group of midwives.
This continuity of care means that you are likely to know the midwife who delivers your baby.
Midwives can arrange all routine prenatal testing, including ultrasound and genetic testing, as well as standard laboratory and diagnostic tests.
Test results are sent to the midwives who discuss them with their clients.
Midwives offer the same routine tests during pregnancy as family physicians and obstetricians, including blood tests, urine tests, genetic screening, ultrasound, gestational diabetes screening, pap tests, swabs for sexually transmitted infections, and testing for Group B Streptococcus (GBS).
During appointments, midwives will talk to you about what each test looks for, how it is performed, possible advantages and disadvantages, and any risks involved.
Choosing a midwife as your provider also means you have the opportunity to choose your birthplace including hospital or home birth.
Midwives are the only practitioners trained to delivery babies outside of the hospital setting.
It is our goal to provide wholesome family centred care to our clients and their families, we look forward to supporting you.
