Resources and LinksMidwifery Care in Ontario Did you know that midwifery care is paid in full by the Ministry of Health? Did you know that you can have a hospital birth or home birth with midwives? It is your choice. In Ontario, Registered Midwives have hospital privileges (admit, discharge, etc), can order lab tests and ultrasounds and provide primary care for low risk births. If you are interested in booking midwifery care, contact the midwifery practice in your area immediately - midwifery care is very popular and practices book up quickly. If you are not sure about midwifery care, I urge you to look at the AOM's website anyway to become familiar with midwifery services.
Do you have a physician for your birth, but you want extra support? Hire a doula. Whether as birth support or postpartum, a doula can be very valuable in supporting your wishes.
