Women Deserve Choices – Ontario needs #birthcentres

Today I have a special guest post from Little Miss Kate! Katie is passionate about spreading the word that women deserve choices when giving birth and one choice Ontario women don’t currently have is Birthing Centres. It’s a choice I feel is important too, I gave birth to all three of boys at home and looking back I am so glad I didn’t have to go to a hospital. But there should be another choice as well and Katie will tell you why. THANKS KATIE!

Women deserve choices – Choices for where they give birth
Right now in Ontario women are limited to either having a home or hospital birth.

But what about if you are not comfortable with the idea of giving birth at home, but have a normal health pregnancy so there is no reason to be hospitalized for your birth?  What then?

Well women around the world and in other parts of Canada (including Quebec) have another option:  Birth Centres!

Ontario Needs Birth Centres and it is not just me who thinks so! Check out these 2 videos from Birth Centre Supporters:

Ted Corrado, executive chef at the Royal Ontario Museum

and Mike O’Shea, former CFL linebacker

Why we NEED Birth Centres in Ontario:

  • Birth Centres will SAVE Ontario money
  • Offer optimized care and support for NORMAL births
  • The Safety of Birth Centres has been well
    established throughout the world and even other provinces in Canada
  • Ontario is home to 75 midwifery clinics with
    highly trained staff who are ready to offer this amazing service to mothers
    across Ontario
