@HamiltonMidwife @ontariomidwives @fordnation @celliottability Exactly five years ago this morning, our brilliant midwife caught my first baby, and then caught a heart arrhythmia in our 3-hour old and saved his life. #ontariomidwives #midwifery #healthcare

Pay equity for midwives is a human right! Now it's time to demand our government upholds the pay equity orders from the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

I will start: an #ontariomidwife helped me out by helping two people out of me! @celliottability @celliottability @ontariomidwives

Celebrating a historic win for pay equity with @ontariomidwives. I want to know if a midwife helped you out or helped someone out of you? Please share your stories with me #ontariomives @fordnation and @celliottability .

[Shibil Siddiqi @ShibilSiddiqi]

An excellent decision addressing the gender pay gap for Ontario’s midwives. Congrats and thank you to ⁦@ontariomidwives⁩ for fighting for gender pay equity and for blazing a trail for all equity-seeking groups in Ontario. https://t.co/X40WlIMfhH

[Community Midwife @HamiltonMidwife]

Is @DocSchmadia using her position of power and privilege to put down gendered midwives fighting for pay equity and gender rights or just trying to promote hierarchy and division in the healthcare system ? #GenderPayGap #PayEquity #Ontariomidwives #PayEquity4Midwives

[Community Midwife @HamiltonMidwife]

@DocSchmadia Due to the limitation that midwives can only bill for > 12 weeks care or attend delivery, many midwives do work for free. Have you heard of the Shelter Heath Midwives? The are on call, mobile and do incredible work for homeless pregnant people. They have never been paid in >8 yrs

[Community Midwife @HamiltonMidwife]

@DocSchmadia A full time midwife is expected to care for 80 assigned clients and their newborns, add on all the clients who are miscarry (we don’t get paid for their care), those who we see who don’t continue care with us, those we see for our colleagues, those we see in expanded scope

[Community Midwife @HamiltonMidwife]

@DocSchmadia No one told me I only had to see 96 patients per year! That would be really nice compared to my current work load!

[Community Midwife @HamiltonMidwife]

@laramhart @DocSchmadia Not according to the evidence, although nurse practitioners were used as a secondary comparison in the analysis.
