Wainfleet, Ontario · 4 years of experience

Tina Wall

I'm Tina - a birth and postpartum doula - and I'm so glad you're here! My desire is to be a guide, helper, encourager, and interpreter for you in your special season of having a baby. Whatever type of birth you choose, I am here to give you all the evidence based information you need in order to have the pregnancy, the birth, and the postpartum you dream of. Birth can be super unpredictable but the effort you put into your birth and the information and confidence you gain will be of huge help! You do not need to walk this path on your own. I serve the Niagara Region of Ontario - including St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Fort Erie, Welland, Wainfleet, and Dunnville. One thing that makes me different as a doula is that I am a Christian and I believe that God wants to be fully present in every part of our life, including birth! Surrendering this crucial part of our life over to Him is utterly important. We are not called to live in fear but of power! I help you to turn your fear into faith, give you Scriptures that will inspire you, and pray over you. No matter what type of birth you choose, or what ends up happening, you can have a God-honoring birth. And I'm here to cheer you on!

Orillia, Ontario · 3 years of experience

Emily Rickards

Hello! My name is Emily Rickards and I am a certifying Labor and Postpartum Doula. I am located in Elliot Lake but serve from the Blind River to Orillia areas! I've loved pregnancy and babies for as long as I can remember, always wanting to be part of birth stories or stories of newborns. I believe every birth should go in favour of the family, however they'd like to remember the experience. Medicated or natural, I'll do everything in my power to make your birth the most calm, peaceful, and memorable moment for you and your family.

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in North York, ON?

Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.

Are midwives covered by insurance in North York, ON?

Yes, in Ontario, including North York, the cost of midwifery care is fully covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) for residents with valid health coverage. Midwifery services include prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postpartum care for both the birthing parent and newborn. There are no additional fees for these services if you are covered by OHIP, and you can choose midwifery care as an alternative to care from a doctor or obstetrician, depending on your preferences and medical needs. However, it's important to contact a midwifery practice early in your pregnancy, as demand for midwives can be high.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.

Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?

Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.
