Client’s Only Emergency Pager:
1-877-533-0240

Important: Please note that our pager is only to be used by clients with urgent concerns or when in labour. Your page will not be returned if you are not a client of Born Midwives. If you have not yet had your first appointment with your midwife, please call your family doctor/nurse practitioner/urgent care clinic/ or emergency department with urgent concerns.

When to Page:
We initially provide you with a list of emergencies that you would page your midwife during pregnancy. If your question is non-urgent, please contact our office directly. Your midwife will get back to you as soon as possible, usually the same day or within 24-48 hours. You should contact your midwife when labour has begun (we will review what to look for when in labour). Once your labour becomes active, your midwife will meet you at the hospital or come to your home if you are planning to give birth at home.

Booking Appointments

Becoming a Patient

Please call, email, or fill out our online self-referral form to become a patient. No referral is necessary, you are fully covered by OHIP for your midwifery care, as long as you are a resident of Canada.

Scheduling Appointments

You will be set up with an appointment schedule when you become a midwifery client. If there is an upcoming appointment you are unable to attend, please let us know as soon as possible so we can reschedule that appointment and make that time slot available to another client.

Cancelled or Rescheduled Appointments by the Clinic

There are times when midwives must cancel the clinic to attend a birth or to sleep after attending a birth that has occurred overnight. There are also times when a midwife may ask clients to move to an earlier or appointment time due to other midwives requiring sleep from multiple births, and therefore they must also do the work of the sleeping midwife.

We attempt to call clients as soon as possible when the clinic is cancelled; however, we cannot always reach them in time. Please provide us with alternative telephone numbers to ensure that you can be contacted readily. We will attempt to find you an appointment that best suits your schedule, but please be aware that this is not always possible.

Appointment Times

According to the recommended WHO pandemic schedule, our first priority is seeing you in the clinic. Most of your appointments are with your primary and alternate midwives. Often this will mean that you need to have appointments during your workday.

Government Mandate For Employers

Your employer is required by law to provide the time for you to attend appointments. Due to limited clinic space in satellite clinics and the ongoing pandemic with increased precautions for cleaning between clients, we can almost guarantee that you will need to attend at least some appointments in the Cambridge office.

Evening and Weekends

We do not offer evening or weekend appointments.

Phone Appointments

Occasionally our visits are longer if clients have presented with an unexpected pregnancy complication. We ask that if you have lots of questions for your midwife, please let them know, and they can contact you over the phone at a later time to discuss and address all of your concerns while remaining on time for other clients. Midwives frequently answer urgent calls from other clients and clinicians in the field during clinic days. This may also affect our schedule.
