Welcome to Uxbridge Midwives

IMPORTANT NEWS:

Uxbridge Midwives will be taking a brief baby pause in 2025.

It has been an honour and pleasure to serve families in our community for the last 17 years.

Due to a staffing storage, we will not be accepting clients with May 2025 due dates and onwards, for the foreseeable future.

We will keep the community updated when we begin to take on new clients again.

In the meantime, we will add you to a waitlist.

Please refer to the Association of Ontario Midwives website 'Find a Midwife' to find out which practices within your area may be accepting clients.

Why choose a Midwife?

Midwives are specialists in normal birth. The preventative, continuous and personalized care of midwives can result in fewer complications during labour and delivery. Midwives set time in prenatal visits to discuss clients' concerns and questions, and to provide information to assist in making decisions in pregnancy.
