Prairie Midwives

It’s September and we survived August! Back in Novemberish when all the repeat clients started to roll in for August, we became a tiny bit nervous. Jenn and Kayla were on their own (we each take a month off in the summer) and luckily Taby was starting with us and was able to cover our back ups! In August Jenn had 8 babies and Kayla had 10, Taby covered the majority of our home birth back ups and our lovely RNs on the labour and delivery unit covered most of our hospital birth back ups.

Today is the day! Rain or shine the picnic is on. There is indoor space if the weather is terrible. Hope to see past and current families tonight!

We missed last year but the picnic is back! Put June 18th from 3:30pm-7:00pm in your calendar! We can’t wait to see you all and how much our Prairie babies have grown ❤️

Please join our campaign to get the word out to our decision makers about midwifery!

Tis the season of giving! We are running a food bank drive over the next month (until January 10th). As food bank use has greatly increased over this past year, let’s help out our community. Unopened baby items such as formula, wipes, diapers, creams etc are also accepted. There will be a donation box in the waiting room. If your midwife is seeing you for home visits they will also gladly bring your items to the clinic. You can also make a monetary donation at https://www.reddeerfoodbank.com/fund-raising. Thanks for your help and Happy Holidays!

Postpartum can be All.The.Things. Support and connection can make such a difference. Check out .counsellor to access this postpartum group.

Check it out! A whole hour of midwifery talk on CBC Alberta@noon tomorrow! Be sure to have a listen and call in if you have a great story!
