There can never be enough of reasonable breastfeeding advice! That said, every person is unique and as such, we try and tailor the advice accordingly. Dr Jack Newman is a reputable resource for advice. This piece talks about an important aspect of patience - so important! https://www.facebook.com/138141916336863/posts/1870570619760642/?d=n

Wondering about the safety of home birth? We will be delighted to answer your questions! Many OVM babies have been born at home over the years

Did you give birth at the QCH and need extra breastfeeding support?

An excellent resource for anyone looking for prenatal classes shared from fellow midwives at OSM!

A great big thank you to discharging client Michaela Vander Ploeg for the lovely scrub caps for her team of Midwives!

Good morning clients!! Did you know you we can include support people in your appointments via video chat? Ask your midwife at your next visit! ... Unfortunately, we are not yet able to welcome partners/support people at in-person visits in the clinic except in extraordinary circumstances. We will continue to evaluate public health guidance and let you know of any policy changes.

We cherish our queer clients as do our community hospitals! Happy Pride Week for everyone celebrating in Ottawa and beyond!

We had a baby shower for Pascale in pandemic style and it was all rainbows and avocados for this wonderful, caring midwife who never stops smiling! Help us wish her an amazing journey as her baby will soon light up her family’s life!
