Registered midwives are skilled professionals in pregnancy and birth. They specialize in providing safe, quality care to low-risk, healthy women and their newborns.
Midwives offer women the choice of birthing in home or in hospital. They have hospital privileges and can order all the typical tests in pregnancy such as ultrasounds and blood tests. Midwives can consult with and refer to specialists as necessary. If a transfer of care from a midwife to a physician is required, the midwife will remain involved, providing supportive care.
