West Country Midwives

04/21/2026

Midwives are an essential part of Alberta’s healthcare network.

They provide evidence-based, regulated care while working in partnership with public health, mental health, and hospital services to support families holistically.

This reduces pressure on emergency services and improves access to care.

Follow along as we walk through each stage of pregnancy with you 🤍

The first trimester is where everything begins. 🤍

It can feel exciting, overwhelming, and sometimes uncertain—all at once.

This is where midwifery care starts too. Early support, meaningful conversations, and time to ask every question along the way.

You don’t have to figure it out on your own—we’re here from the very beginning.

There’s something really special about having care come to our community 🤍

Lundie from Elle Physio joins us every second Friday and some Mondays, offering pelvic floor physiotherapy right here at the clinic — no travelling, no long waits, just support when you need it most.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just feeling like something isn’t quite right in your body, pelvic floor physio can make such a difference.

We love having her here, and we’d love to keep her coming — so if you’ve been thinking about booking, this is your sign ✨

📅 Next visit: April 13 @ 3pm or 4:45pm

Spring has a way of reminding us just how much can grow, shift, and begin again. 🌿

In our work, we’re lucky to witness those new beginnings every single day.

Wishing all of our families a calm, connected, and joy-filled Easter weekend 🤍

💕

This is for the dads. What do you need to know for birth?

✨️ Labor is WORK - you need to support her through it because she is working hard.

✨️ You don't need to fix it - birth is work, it's intense, and I know you want to make everything better but birth is simply intense. The good news? Moms are incredibly strong and can navigate even the most intense birth with support and care.

✨️ Movement is EVERYTHING - help her keep moving

✨️ Your words matter! Your encouraging words, support, reminders of safety, they can all help her to release more oxytocin and help labor progress.

✨️ Decisions might take time. When a midwife or doctor discusses any intervention, know that outside of a legit emergency, there's time to chat and make informed decisions. Support your partner through asking questions and making the choices that feel right for her.

✨️ How you support her can impact birth.

Take time to prepare and learn about birth! And remember, you don't have to do this alone. Doulas support partners in helping them support the mom in the best way possible.

Tag a dad today! Make sure he's ready.

If you've already birthed, tell us how dad supported you during birth!
