Midwifery care creates a partnership that is individualized, empowering, and supportive. It is based on a respect for pregnancy as a state of health and childbirth as a normal physiological process and a profound event in a person’s life. Fundamental to midwifery care is the understanding that a person’s caregivers will respect and support them so that they may give birth safely, with power and with dignity.
Registered Midwives are primary care providers. We provide comprehensive care during pregnancy, labour and birth, and for six weeks postpartum. Midwifery care is fully funded by the BC Medical Services Plan (MSP). If you have a BC Care Card, there is no cost to you for midwifery services.
At Cook Street Community Midwives, we work as solo practitioners with each midwife caring for their own clients. However, we support one another to provide the best care possible. Contact our office to arrange and appointment. To learn more about midwifery care, click here.
