Midwifery care

Maternity care providers, including midwives, support a woman's/birthing parent’s right to choose throughout their pregnancy and birth experience. They promote the natural, physiologic progression of labour and birth. They focus on the optimal physical, emotional, and mental well-being of both parents and their newborns.
