Choice of Birthplace
Registered Midwives in BC are trained and licensed to offer you a choice of birthplace – home or hospital. Making a decision about where you want to give birth is an important part of informed choice and the midwifery model of care. At Pomegranate, we regularly have homebirth information sessions so that you can have more time to become familiar with this type of “special delivery”. Even if you are not planning to have a homebirth yourself, it’s a fun way to learn more about what your midwives are up to in the middle of the night…
The BC Colleges of Nurses and Midwives has helpful documents to help you learn about homebirth in BC. Also, your midwife will discuss this option with you at some point in your pregnancy.
