prenatal care

Prenatal Care

Midwives provide primary health care to women who experience healthy, normal pregnancies. If you develop obstetrical problems or have a medical condition, your midwife will speak to you about the process of consulting with or transferring your care to an appropriate physician and the support we provide to you should this occur.

Prenatal care offers you the opportunity to learn about the changes in your body as your pregnancy progresses. Your care begins with an initial visit that lasts about 1 hour. During this time we discuss the care we provide to you throughout your pregnancy, labour and delivery and the postpartum.

During your prenatal care we see you on the same schedule of visits as a family doctor or obstetrician. That is, every 4 weeks until you are 28 weeks pregnant, every 2 weeks until you are 36 weeks pregnant, and weekly from then until you deliver your baby. We also order all of your prenatal lab tests (blood and urine) as well as ultrasound screening.

Our prenatal appointments are 30 minutes long which allows us time to discuss questions or concerns that you may have. At each visit we check your blood pressure, weight gain and your baby’s growth, position and heart rate.

Labour and Birth

Midwives can support you in giving birth either at home or in the hospital. For hospital births, we deliver our clients at Etobicoke General Hospital. 

If you are planning a home birth, we will give you a list of the supplies you should have available for the birth. In the last month of your pregnancy, one of your prenatal visits will be at your home. This gives us the opportunity to discuss comfort measures during your labour and situations that may lead to transfer to the hospital. We also provide care to women wishing to experience a water birth.

Postnatal Care

After the birth, whether at home or in hospital, we will monitor the condition of both you and your baby for the first few hours. We will help you to breastfeed, have a bath or shower and provide information and guidance for your care during the early days after the birth. We will visit you after the delivery to assess you and your baby, answer questions and assist with infant feeding. In the first week, these visits take place in your home, and then we will see you in the clinic at 2, 4 and 6 weeks postnatally. It is not necessary for your baby to see a family doctor or pediatrician for checkups during this time. The 6 weeks visit is the final visit which includes a physical assessment of your baby, and if needed a pap smear for you. At your last visit, your midwife will provide you with the records you need to return to your regular doctor.
