The Midwives Association of British Columbia is the professional Association representing midwives and the profession of midwifery in British Columbia.
In BC, the Medical Services Plan (MSP) covers one primary care provider for your pregnancy, birth, and up to six weeks postpartum. For healthy pregnancies, that can be a doctor or a registered midwife - the choice is yours. Learn more: https://t.co/h3HzO4sDYn
Midwives are highly trained professionals who provide expert, personalized care throughout pregnancy, birth, and the weeks that follow - often right in the comfort of your own home. It's not just clinical. It's personal.
