MIDWIVES OF MUSKOKA
Welcome to our Website!
Midwives of Muskoka (MoM) has been serving families in Muskoka since 2005. Over 1000 Muskoka babies have been welcomed into our hands!
Ontario Midwives provide primary care for women with low risk pregnancies. Our philosophy is based on informed choice by the woman, choice of birthplace, and continuity of care.
As a midwifery client, we hope you will develop a trust and confidence in your midwife and in yourself that will enable you to take responsibility for your own well-being. You will make the decisions and choices about your care based on information and education received from your midwife and other sources, and you will receive support for the choices you make.
In Ontario, the practice of midwifery is based on the principles of:
· Continuity of care with a small group of midwives
· Informed choice for decision-making
· Choice of birthplace
MoM midwives have hospital privileges at:
· Huntsville District Memorial Hospital
· Orillia Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital
· South Muskoka Memorial Hospital
Midwives are regulated health care professionals who provide primary care to women throughout pregnancy, labour and birth, and to mother and baby for six weeks following the birth.
Midwifery services are fully funded by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-term Care.
