Care from a team of registered midwives in CK who provide:
- home visits
- early discharge from the hospital
- baby checkups including the 24 hour bloodwork
- breastfeeding assistance
- postpartum checkups & mental health check-ins
-OHIP covered (free) Our aim is to provide postpartum care for those who:
- do not have a family doctor
- experienced complications that required a specialist in the
ir pregnancy and thus were not able to have a midwife
- desire thorough, high quality follow up for them and their baby without having to leave their home
Midwives are primary care providers. Midwives provide medical care to healthy women during pregnancy, deliver babies at the hospital and at home and then provide all the care women and their babies need in the early postpartum weeks. This "after care" includes the option of early discharge from the hospital after delivery, followed by home and clinic visits. Our aim is for more women and new families to be able to experience the care they deserve after bringing a baby into this world. That means this service is for you if you:
- had a cesarean or vaginal delivery
- have health complications
- breast feeding or bottle feeding (or a combo of both!)
- if you require prescriptions or other referrals (eg. counselling, paediatricians, mental health supports)
*CARE IS COVERED BY OHIP*
