Term Essentials

At your 36 week appointment your midwife will provide you with a package that contains the pager numbers of our midwives, your clinical chart, and materials your midwife will need access to during labour and the postpartum. This information package is meant to be reviewed around the same time - though you’re welcome to read through it at any point in your pregnancy. Inside, you’ll find:

  • A list of supplies to prepare in advance of your labour

  • How and when to contact your midwives in labour and postpartum

  • Information on cervical ripening, prelabour rupture of membranes, what to expect in the postpartum, newborn jaundice and more

  • Charts and forms you may find helpful to reference and use after the birth of your baby

  • Community and online resources to help connect you with services and information specific to your needs
