... in Southern Health-Santé Sud
The choice of a birthing option is a very personal decision. In Southern Health-Santé Sud, we view birth as being a natural, not a medical event and we continue to offer options that allow families to have the birth experience they want, while still ensuring that we offer safe care to both mothers and babies.
As more and more women seek a natural birth experience, midwives, nurses, public health staff and physicians across the region are working together to provide as many birthing options as close to home as possible. For a number of reasons including priority populations, high-risk pregnancies, staffing levels and geographic locations, not everyone can be accommodated.
Whether your preference is to home birth or to welcome your little one in one of our finest health centres where the trend is also towards a more natural experience, we have options for you. Please speak with a health care provider to discuss family-centred options near you.
