At Markham Stouffville Hospital, you can choose to be cared for by an obstetrician, family physician or midwife:

• Obstetrician – a physician who specializes in providing complete pregnancy and childbirth care for low- or high-risk pregnancies
• Family physician – experienced in obstetrics and can provide complete care throughout pregnancy, delivery and postpartum stages
• Midwife – a registered healthcare professional who provides full primary care for low-risk pregnancies either in your home or at MSH, as well as postpartum care.

Your family physician can help you select a healthcare provider who best meets your expectations regarding your pregnancy and birth journey. You can also contact our childbirth navigator who can help you connect to a healthcare provider of your choice. You can reach the childbirth navigator via email at havingababy@msh.on.ca or by phone 416-671-4131.
