Birth Place

Community Midwives of Thunder Bay encourages and supports families to explore choice of birthplace. Please ask questions and seek advice from your midwifery team at your prenatal appointments. For more information on choice of birthplace, please refer to the Association of Ontario Midwives’s website.

Where you plan to deliver is a personal choice for every family. Once you have explored your options, our work as your midwifery team is to respect and facilitate your planned choice of birthplace. We always strive to create a warm, comforting, and supportive birth environment; one in which you and your family can feel confident and empowered to have the best birth experience possible.
