Midwives are specialists in normal pregnancy and childbirth. Midwifery is based on the principles of health and well-being, recognizing that conception, pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding are natural life processes. We actively encourage informed choice by providing relevant, objective information about care alternatives, including risks and benefits, to facilitate informed decision making.
Midwives can and do access other health care professions where needed for consultation. Briar Hill Midwives is the longest established practice of midwives in Calgary. We provide personalized continuous care to families throughout their childbearing years.
