Congratulations on your pregnancy! Vera and her colleagues at Midwifery Care North Shore (MCNS) understand that growing your family can give rise to ecstatic joy, disbelief, a multitude of questions and much else. Pregnancy, birth and early postpartum is a transitional time and we as midwives feel privileged to use our professional knowledge, skills and connections to accompany women and their families on this journey.
Every woman and every birth is different. The care at MCNS is intended to be a partnership that meets the individual needs of each pregnant woman so that she may have a healthy and safe pregnancy, birth and postpartum. This personalized service includes home and hospital birth, water birth, as well as breastfeeding and early parenting support. We believe in informed decision making and actively involving women in their care.
Our services are paid for by BC Medical Services Plan and supported by Lions Gate Hospital’s maternity unit for North Vancouver and West Vancouver residents; although we are also able to offer care to women living in Vancouver, Burnaby, Bowen Island and the Sea to Sky Corridor who are prepared to travel.
Winter and spring certainly have brought much change and uncertainty for all of us. Our world on the North Shore and elsewhere is different.
We are happy to say that Vera and team continue to welcome clients into a partnership of care, despite now needing to live with COVID pandemic processes as a part of daily life.
Charlotte Dahle is moving to Alberta. She is appreciated for the services that she recently provided and is wished well, as she continues her life’s adventures.
Besides years of midwifery experience, Liz brings a current and fresh view to MCNS clients, as she is returning to work from being on maternity leave with her firstborn son.
We aim to provide warm and respectful care that responds to each person’s individual needs.
