Do I have to have a home birth if I choose a midwife?

No - midwives support choice of birthplace, meaning you can chose to give birth where you feel most comfortable. At CMOH we attend clients choosing home birth or hospital birth at one of two obstetrical hospitals: McMaster University Medical Centre (Hamilton Health Sciences) or St Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton. To learn more about choosing home or hospital birth in Hamilton, please see our Choice of Birthplace section.
