Request Midwifery Care

 

If you are pregnant and interested in midwifery care, please complete our Request for Care form.

By submitting a request, you will join a wait pool that is not a ‘top-of-the-list, first-in list.’ The wait pool is unranked and reviewed frequently by your preferred midwifery practices. If and when a spot becomes available, you will be contacted directly and offered care. Due to the high number of care requests received each month, you will not be contacted unless there is a space available for you.

Completing a request for care does not guarantee you a space with a midwifery practice. If you have not been contacted by a midwifery practice by 10-12 weeks gestation, please arrange appropriate prenatal care through another primary care provider.

Even if there are no midwives practicing in your area, we encourage all pregnant people in Alberta who would like midwifery care to apply, as this helps demonstrate the need for midwifery services in your community and supports future workforce planning.

For questions or help, please contact us at clientcare@alberta-midwives.ca.
