Pregnancy

Midwives provide regular prenatal visits to monitor the physical, emotional, and social well-being of both mother and baby. Visits become more frequent as pregnancy progresses. Care includes routine prenatal tests, blood work, genetic screening, ultrasounds, and referrals when needed.

Birth

I have privileges at BC Women’s and St Paul’s hospital.

Postpartum Care

Following birth, midwife continue caring for both mother and baby, usually through home or hospital visits initially, followed by clinic appointments. They monitor physical and emotional recovery, assess newborn health, and provide breastfeeding support. Postpartum care generally continues until approximately six weeks after birth, when care is transferred to a family physician or nurse practitioner.

Postpartum midwifery care may also be available through referral for families whose pregnancy care was provided by a physician.
