Testimony Tuesday!

Thank you Kaitlin for sharing your story and photos with us

"My first story is a little crazy, my midwives Melanie and Heather P were both in births when I went into labour as well as my backup Midwife Tanya, so I had Maryellen and the student at the time at my birth, and my active labour went so fast that as I was starting to crown, Mary Ellen went to call a nurse to help and I ended up pushing Theo out with one push and being able to catch him, myself! With it being my first baby, I was nervous having a Midwife I hadn’t even met, but Mary Ellen was so kind and caring, it it was like like I got to work with the whole Midwives Of Brantford, it truly is like a family! And then my second birth a year and a half later with Bennett, I had an OB because I had gestational diabetes, but I was still in the care of the midwives, and I was so grateful that they were able to help me advocate for what I wanted and truly be my support throughout both pregnancies and postpartums. I truly wouldn’t have been able to do it without them!"

This October, we celebrated 1 year of our Beyond Birth Program, led by Midwife Maryellen Boyes.
We'll be sharing some statistics, photos and testimonials to celebrate this milestone in the coming weeks!

This year, Maryellen was able to see 334 well babies in the hospital.
The BBP prevented 143 visits to a walk-in or emergency room, and prevented 81 visits to the bili clinic for repeat bili testing.

The work of Maryellen and the BBP reduces well-baby work for pediatricians, allowing them more time to spend with the babies that need a higher level of care.
A large portion of visits were due to families not being able to access their family doctors in a reasonable timeframe.

Given the primary care crisis we are facing, this is a huge response from midwifery to be able to step into the gap and provide families with important and timely care during such a vulnerable period of life.

We are so proud of Maryellen's work to support the families, physicians, and nurses in our community.

Please welcome our newest midwife Victoria! You'll start seeing her around clinic in November.

"My name is Victoria and I am excited to start a new chapter at Midwives of Brant!

I completed the Midwifery Education Program in 2022 and worked as a Midwife in the Halton Region (born and raised).
After the birth of my daughter, born into the hands of my supportive colleagues, my family has made Brant County our new home.

What initially drew me to midwifery was the ability to offer continuous and personalized care in both the hospital and at home. I have come to appreciate these aspects even more having now experienced pregnancy and birth myself.

In addition to catching babies, I enjoy drinking iced coffee, being outside, exercising, and going on little adventures with my family.

I look forward to supporting you and your family through such a special time in your lives!”

Testimony Tuesday!

Thank you Emily for sharing your home births and photos with us!

"I always say my favourite thing about a home birth was not leaving my house to go to the hospital and not getting in the car again to go home. There are so many other things that went so well. I was so at peace in my own space and so was my husband.

We went to the home birth information night and we got to see all the equipment that the midwives bring with them and we had the opportunity to ask questions and see all the equipment that would accompany the midwives to our home. It was extremely reassuring. I laboured with my first in the water and I don’t know how people go unmedicated without water. It was so warm and helpful, allowing me to feel lighter and move around more easily. My experience with my first made me, no question, want to do it again with my second. The first hours postpartum are such a beautiful time and it’s so nice to enjoy them by sinking into the comforts of your own bed."
