The Midwifery Group

The Midwifery Group Welcome to TMG's virtual bulletin board! Check-in regularly for the best of everything baby-related.

Here you will find current events and links to articles and videos, and can post pictures of your adorable babies to share with your midwives! The Midwifery Group was the first midwifery clinic to open it’s doors in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1998. We view pregnancy and birth as normal, healthy, family-centered life events. We provide comprehensive maternity care for women and babies throughout the pregnancy, the labour and birth and the postpartum period. We deliver babies at BC Women's and St Paul's Hospitals and in homes.

To our amazing community! We wanted to share that the PPPSS has launched a campaign for Giving Tuesday with a goal of raising $20,000 by the end of the year.

You all know the amazing work that they do. Their support has made a profound difference in the lives of so many families navigating the postpartum period offering a safe space, compassionate guidance, and a community that truly understands. We see every day how essential this kind of care is, and we are so grateful for the tireless work they do to uplift birthing parents, partners, and families.

Please consider donating to help them continue carrying out their work. This year they added a single parents support group, a q***r/trans support group, and a father’s group and they’ve even expanded to offering groups on the Island. Your contribution helps ensure these vital services remain accessible to those who need them most.

Here is the direct link to donate:

This is the view so many parents tell us they’ll never forget, the moment their baby is lifted into sight for the very first time.

For this mother, recovering from her C-section, Laurie from Team 1 offered calm reassurance and steady support as her baby entered the world.

Birth looks different for everyone, but the love, awe, and strength in this moment is universal.

What an honour it is to be invited into these stories. ❤️

Nourishing your body during pregnancy doesn’t have to be complicated — small, consistent habits can make a big difference. This overnight oats recipe is rich in iron, folate, fibre, and healthy fats, making it a wonderful option to support your energy, digestion, and your growing baby. ✨

Why this recipe works during pregnancy:
💛 Iron helps support increased blood volume and prevent iron-deficiency anemia.
💛 Folate supports early fetal development and healthy neural tube formation.
💛 Fibre + healthy fats help with digestion, blood sugar balance, and keeping you full and energized.

Here’s the recipe featured in today’s Healthy Habit spotlight 👇

🥣 Iron & Folate Overnight Oats (2 servings)
• 1 ⅓ cups unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• ¼ cup plain Greek-style yogurt
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• ⅛ tsp salt
• ¾ cup chopped peaches or berries (fresh or thawed) — divided
• ¼ cup + 2 tbsp chopped pecans — divided
• Maple syrup for serving (optional)

Directions:

Combine almond milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds, cinnamon, salt, ½ cup peaches and ¼ cup pecans in a bowl.

Stir well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or up to 5 days.

Divide into 2 bowls and top each with 2 tbsp peaches (or berries) and 1 tbsp pecans.

Add a drizzle of maple syrup if you’d like a little sweetness. 🍑🍓🫐✨

A nourishing start to the morning — supporting you and baby with every bite. 💛

✨ Meet your Midwife: Julia from Team 1! ✨

What is your name?
Julia de Montigny, I use she/her pronouns. You can call me Julia or Jules! 🐶

What team are you on?
Team 1 💛

What inspired you to become a midwife?
I’ve always loved working with people — I’m a real people person! In my early twenties, while studying geography and working at a sexual health non-profit, one of my closest friends trained to be a midwife. I could listen to her stories about pregnancy and birth forever. Eventually I realized I had the skills and passion to do this work too, and I’ve never looked back! 🌻

What do you love most about being a midwife?
Witnessing the strength of the people I care for, being part of profound moments, and making meaningful changes in people’s everyday lives. I also love seeing the city and seasons through the lens of birth — nothing hits quite like a post-birth sunrise. 🌅

Favourite comfort meal or snack after a long shift.
Warming foods, lemon water, and anything chocolate–peanut butter… eaten from bed! Rest is everything. 😌🍫

How do you recharge / what do you love to do?
Running, puzzles, trivia, baking, and spending time in the forest with my family. I love getting lost in a good TV series (send recommendations!). My q***r community absolutely sustains me. I feel lucky to have learned how to care for others by experiencing the ways q***r and trans people show up for each other every day. Finally, I sing every Thursday night with Outside Voices, a community pop-rock choir, alongside Geny (Team 1) and Rachel (Team 3). Come see us at The Rio on Dec 14th! 🎶❄️

What advice would you give to new parents?
Trust yourself. Ask for help. Take things one step at a time. And find small joys every single day. ✨
