We aim to develop a comfortable and trusting relationship with you. We encourage the involvement of your partner, children and/or other support people in your pregnancy and birthing experience. You will see your midwife throughout your pregnancy as you would your regular doctor. Your first booking visit will last roughly an hour and a half. Regular prenatal visits are 30 minutes in length, occur once per month up to 28 weeks, once every two weeks until 36 weeks and then once per week until birth. Your midwife will also visit you once at home around 36 weeks as one of your prenatal visits. Your midwives will attend your labour and birth and also then are the primary care providers responsible for both you and your baby. For the first week postpartum, we visit you either in hospital or at home after which regular clinic visits will follow for up to 6 weeks postpartum. more... See more text
