Pregnancy Care
Scheduled prenatal appointments are provided at suite 370-145 Chadwick Court, North Vancouver (building just beside the seabus). Prenatal visits are usually once every 4-5 weeks for the first 28-30 weeks, every 2-3 weeks until 36 weeks and then once a week until baby is born. Routine screening and diagnostic tests are discussed and prescribed during 30-45 minutes long appointments.
Hospital Birth
We admit and deliver women in labour. We offer a range of natural way of birthing. Many women who labour at hospital use water, massage and other methods as an effective way to relieve pain. If there is a concern or complications we consult obstetrician and/or pediatrician on call.
Home Birth
Home delivery is an option for healthy low-risk parents. We observe, educate and guide to a safe and appropriate choice of birthplace. Midwives are the only health care professionals specifically trained in home birth.
