Midwifery in Halifax and Nova Scotia

August 06, 2009

When I got pregnant with my third child in Nova Scotia, I was unaware of the midwifery services that were available. In fact, the province was in the midst of regulating midwifery serves, in order to provide the services through our universal health care system. The first step was recognized in March 2009, when The Midwifery Act, passed in 2006 can into effect. As with any movement, the beginning is tough. This move to regulate midwifery services has made it difficult if not impossible for some midwives in Nova Scotia to continue practicing. Yet it must be applauded that the province, along side the midwives, are taking steps to provide this valuable service to all pregnant women in Nova Scotia.

My children, almost 5 and 2 years old are very different in their approach to welcoming a new baby into the family. The oldest is very excited, the youngest is oblivious for the most part.
