Midwifery care spots are based on an applicant’s due date and the availability of a midwife for that due date. We only contact applicants if we have space for their due date and can accept them into our care. Our current capacity allows us to accommodate between 20 – 35 applicants each month. Due to the level of care and time spent with each client we unfortunately can’t accommodate every application. Our catchment area is the City of London, if you reside outside of London, please also apply to the midwifery practice that serves your area.https://www.ontariomidwives.ca/find-midwife.Before completing this application, please acknowledge that you are aware that Midwives are primary health care providers who provide prenatal, labour, delivery and postpartum care to their clients. A pregnant person can choose to have a midwife or a doctor, not both. As midwives are experts in low-risk pregnancy and birth, midwifery clients will not see a physician for pregnancy related care unless there are concerns or complications. If complications arise, midwives can consult with physicians or, if necessary, transfer a client’s care to a Obstetrician.NextFirst Name *Last Name *Address *City *Province *Postal Code *Phone *Is this number for: *HomeCellWorkCan we leave a voicemail at the phone number listed? *YesNoEmail *We generally contact accepted applicants by email, if you do not wish to be contacted by email please advise.
