Midwifery is more than a profession. It's a calling.

It's about providing life-changing, continuous support that honours your unique journey. From the first appointment to weeks after birth, your midwife is a constant, trusted partner.

Midwives empower families, offering personalized guidance and care while fostering a community rooted in health, trust, and connection.

How has midwifery care made a difference in your family’s life?

Meet Chidinma, who is passionate about taking an evidence-based midwifery practice alongside building strong relationships on a foundation of trust. Her goal is to create a supportive environment where every parent feels empowered in their healthcare journey.

As she puts it, "I want my clients to feel fully supported and informed throughout their care."

We are so proud to have midwives like Chidinma in our community, providing thoughtful care across British Columbia.

In BC, midwifery goes beyond care, focusing on continuity, informed choice, collaboration, and community-based support.

Midwives provide personalized, evidence-based care, and build strong relationships with clients throughout the childbearing journey. Whether you choose to give birth at home or in a hospital, midwives respect your choices and ensure you're supported every step of the way.

With 24/7 availability, midwives are there for you, offering compassionate care tailored to your unique needs. And the best part? Midwifery care is publicly funded, meaning it's accessible to everyone through the medical services plan (MSP).

Meet Ams who is redefining midwifery care with compassion and inclusivity:

"As a q***r and non-binary midwife, I hope to provide safer, respectful, and welcoming spaces for other q***r and trans people choosing to have children. This call deepened as my chosen families began growing. Midwifery is an especially community based and client centered approach to reproductive health care, and it called out to me as a way to provide evidence-based care in a supportive and liberatory framework. Midwifery has been all this and more.”

Midwife or Doctor? The choice is yours!

Did you know midwives are specialists in healthy pregnancies and supporting normal births? Under BC’s Medical Services Plan (MSP), you can choose one primary care provider for your pregnancy and up to 6 weeks postpartum.

Midwives offer personalized, compassionate care and work closely with doctors or specialists when needed. After 6 weeks, your care transitions back to your family doctor. Choose a midwife for expert, holistic care during this special journey.

Meet Rosesandra, a BC midwife originally from Ghana and a graduate of UBC’s Internationally Educated Midwives Bridging Program.

Rooted in joy and community, she grew up seeing birthing people celebrated in white — and today, one moment she treasures most is “when a birthing person hears their baby’s cry for the first time.”

What’s a moment from birth or early parenthood that has stayed with you?

Choosing a midwife means personalized care from early pregnancy through birth and the first weeks with your newborn. Did you know you can access midwifery care without a doctor’s referral, and it’s fully covered by MSP if you have a BC Services Card?

Midwives are a lifeline for rural and remote communities. They ensure families can receive essential, skilled maternity care close to home, bridging critical gaps in the healthcare system.

This past year, our Rural Midwifery Locum Program supported 41 midwives, providing 639 days of coverage across 21 rural communities. This reduces burnout for local midwives and ensures that birthing people have access to consistent, qualified care, no matter where they live.

We are committed to strengthening and sustaining midwifery in every corner of British Columbia.

Ensuring the highest standard of care is at the core of what the MABC does. This past year, the MABC coordinated 84 Midwifery Emergency Skills Program (MESP) sessions with UBC / CPD across the province.

These vital sessions supported the recertification of 208 midwives, reinforcing their ability to provide safe, skilled, and responsive maternity care in any situation. This commitment to ongoing education is fundamental to the health and safety of families in BC.
