Iron plays many important roles in your health. You need iron to make hemoglobin, a part of red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. When you have iron deficiency anemia, you don’t have enough iron to make hemoglobin, so your body starts to make smaller and fewer red blood cells. Less hemoglobin and fewer red blood cells also means your cells can’t get the oxygen they need. Normal changes to blood volume during pregnancy make it more likely for you to bec...ome anemic. Your midwife will offer blood tests when you are pregnant to check your levels of hemoglobin. If you have low iron, she may recommend an iron supplement (AOM, 2020) For more information go to https://www.ontariomidwives.ca//Iron%20deficiency%20anemia
How do you become registered as a midwife? Midwives in Canada have graduated from rigorous university midwifery education programs. They are neither doctors or nurses. Your midwives at KWMA have graduated from one of two programs: The Midwifery Education Program (MEP), offered at Laurentian, McMaster and Ryerson universities, a four-year degree program that awards graduates a Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) degree in midwifery.... The International Midwifery Pre-registration Program (IMPP), offered through Ryerson University, a bridging program that prepares experienced, internationally educated midwives to practice in Ontario. Additionally, Ontario midwives are required to take part in professional development and keep their CPR, neonatal resuscitation (NRP) and emergency skills (ESW) certifications up to date.

Can you get an epidural if you have a midwife? Yes! You can choose whether or not you want to have an epidural during labour. If you want an epidural you will need to plan a hospital birth so your midwife can consult with an anesthetist who will insert the epidural. The main benefit of an epidural is that it can provide excellent pain relief during your labour. Risks of epidurals include:... Headache Itchy skin Nausea Infection A drop in blood pressure that can lower the baby’s heart rate (usually this is resolved with medication) (NHS, 2020) You may not want or need an epidural. Your midwife is there to help you make informed choices through your labour.
