At Pomegranate, we are sowing seeds for a strong and vibrant community of families.
We started as a midwifery clinic, offering maternity and newborn care. From these early days, we have grown into a connecting point for our community of families
We now have classes, workshops, massage, counselling, acupuncture and mom & baby drop-ins. We have a free store, a lending library, an annual picnic and other annual events and free Info Nights monthly. We support local health care initiatives, local business, grassroots ‘mompreneurs’, the LGBT community, single mothers and families in the hood. We do all this through the inspiration we get from meeting the families that walk through our doors each day.
My second pregnancy was very stressful and needed a fair bit of medical intervention and support. My midwives at Pomegranate were incredibly supportive, patient and helpful. They encouraged and supported my desire to have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) by providing with helpful information to help me make informed decisions about my pregnancy. When I needed a consultation with an OB, they worked well with him and were very professional. I had planned a home birth, but needed to transfer to the hospital and the midwife ensured that I was cared for and had the best experience possible, in spite of the change of plans. I was able to have a medication-free VBAC and it was amazing. They provided great post-partum support and breastfeeding assistance. I highly recommend them.
