2018 in Review

Our team supported 30 birthing families in 2018!

The majority of our clients birthed in the Spring/Summer season and coincidentally we had an equal number of boys and girls born.

The majority of our clients were first time parents-to-be.  However 1/3 of the babies were born to repeat clients! Here's the full breakdown: 

20 - baby #1 (67%)
9 - baby #2 (30%)
1 - baby #3 (1%)


Although we supported births in many locations, 50% of births attended were at Rockyview Hospital, 20% at Foothills, 10% at South Health and 3% took place in the following locations:
  • Peter Lougheed Centre
  • Sundre hospital
  • Olds hospital
  • Arbour Birth Center
  • our clients home with midwives

77% of our clients had successful vaginal births, 17% were cesarean births and 3% were vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC). 

Lastly, 60% of our clients birthed epidural free!
