Ontario’s primary care crisis demands innovative solutions. Midwives are highly skilled primary care professionals, providing essential pregnancy, postpartum, infant & reproductive care to over 30,000 Ontario families annually. Yet there has been no new investment in midwifery education since 2010.

Informed choice is foundational to midwifery care.

The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC) has reaffirmed its position: acetaminophen remains a first-line option for pain and fever during pregnancy when used as recommended. Health Canada also maintains there is no conclusive evidence linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Midwives support clients with evidence-based information to guide decision-making. If you have questions or concerns about using acetaminophen in pregnancy, talk to your midwife or other health-care provider.
