In Manitoba, midwives care for pregnant people and newborns in communities, homes, clinics, birth centres and hospitals. Midwives are part of the health care team and can refer you to family doctors and specialists, public health nurses and community resources. They can order tests, prescribe medication for pregnancy, postpartum or newborn care, diagnose and treat minor concerns and deliver your baby. We hope this information helps you make the best choices for your growing family.
