Midwives of York Region

Midwives of York Region MYR is a midwifery clinic that serves the York Region community. With privileges at Southlake Health. We are a practice of ten Registered Midwives.

We offer a choice of birthplace: home or hospital. We hold admitting and discharge privileges at Southlake Regional Health Centre in Newmarket. We work in teams to offer 24-hour oncall availability. Our office is located in Aurora.

“Increasing numbers of Canadian women are choosing midwives for four main reasons: midwives' philosophy of childbirth as a natural process, involving a wholistic and supportive approach; continuity of care throughout the childbearing year, which fosters safety and respect; cultural and political factors; and most importantly, the maintenance of a sense of control over their birth experience.”
”A brief overview of why women choose midwifery care ” by Annemarie van Oploo, BScN

“Midwives have been part of the human experience for as long as we know.The Latin term cum-mater and the Spanish and Portuguese term comadre, have the same meaning: with woman. At the present time, there is no doubt that midwives offer women safe, effective care with good outcomes; now midwives ourselves are looking at our practice to see just what we do that makes this so. We believe that the answer lies in our name; that is, we are ‘with women.’”
A Short History of Midwifery
"Well-behaved women rarely make history." (Laurel Thatcher Ulrich)

A little late in the day for our March numbers but we had other important posts today! 😉

So better late than never! Our very busy midwives attended 24 out of 38 babies over 8 days in March! Including 2 sets of twins!

Congratulations to all our families on the safe arrival of all their little ones.

The Society has been working on this project for a long time. We’ve finally been given the go ahead to share!

Using data from pregnancies over the last 20 years, they have finally narrowed down which hormones and fetal measurements lead to the most accurate due date.

Using the QR code, input your information and you can figure out your new due date! (Save a screenshot of the QR code to your photos to access from your phone) Ask your midwife at your next appointment if you need help!

Here are all the MYR babies from February 2026! Welcome sweet little ones!
