Prenatal Care

In the first months of your pregnancy, your physician or midwife will provide you with all the standard care and information during routine prenatal appointments. Our offices are located in Gibsons, Wilson Creek and Sechelt.

Group Prenatal Care

In your third trimester, after 28 weeks, you will be invited to join 2 or 3 group prenatal appointments when you will have a chance to meet other expectant families as well as the other care providers who make up your team.

Birth

The midwives and physicians of the Sunshine Coast Maternity Care Group share being on call for you when you go into labour. One of us from the group will be with you when you have your baby, along with the excellent nurses, specialists and hospital staff at Sechelt Hospital. Talk with your midwife if you are planning to birth at home.

Postpartum Care

After your baby is born, you will continue to receive care from your primary physician or midwife. We will also connect you with local resources to support your growing family.

Hospital or Home

Families on the Sunshine Coast can choose to have their baby at Sechelt Hospital with the Maternity Care Group or birth at home with Registered Midwives.

Consultant Care

We work alongside specialist colleagues, such as obstetricians and dieticians, as well as nurses and hospital staff at Sechelt Hospital. We can also refer families who require more services off coast.

What families are saying

I feel so blessed to have experienced such amazing care and support for the birth of my children. From beginning to end all my concerns were met with calm reassurance that left me with an amazing sense of trust in my birth team. I am so grateful for the memories I have in what is one of the most precious moments in my life.
Sarah
I enjoyed meeting the team of midwives and doctors and felt that they took care to understand my health care needs. I feel that each of them has experience and expertise in pregnancy and birth.
Melina
We got pregnant shortly after moving to the Sunshine Coast from the Lower Mainland and were so please to learn about a collaborative maternity care group much like the one we had our first baby with in Vancouver. We felt that the group offered us the best of both worlds and are excited about having our baby at Sechelt Hospital with any one of the doctors or midwives in the group.
