Everyone knows you’re supposed to eat healthy foods in pregnancy, just like it’s a good idea to exercise, get enough sleep, reduce stress in our lives, et cetera, pregnant or not. We’re all good at that stuff, right? Yuuuuup. We are good at it in January, anyway. That’s what all those New Year’s resolutions are […]
Why I am thankful my daughter with Down Syndrome was born at home
Disclaimer: This is MY opinion on what was best for ME and MY family. As a self-proclaimed germaphobe, I was interested in the idea of a home birth for my first pregnancy. Soaring blood pressure among other concerns prompted my midwives to recommend I deliver at a hospital instead. For my second pregnancy there were […]

Now is the time to ditch resolutions. Choose vision instead!
As the beginning of a new year approaches, many of us are thinking of what we want for 2017. This year I propose a new way of approaching this time of transition. I say we ditch resolutions and we adopt New Year visions. Have you ever heard of a vision board? It’s basically a large […]
Heather’s #BestOf2016
Donovan’s birth was by far my hardest labour and delivery. It was hard because of my experience with my previous birth, my 1st son – 2nd born. I never was able to wrap my head around baby #3 and that this birthing process wouldn’t necessarily follow that of #2. So from the start I was […]
Willow’s #BestOf2016
Oh, how my birth was not what we had planned… My due date was November 6th, and on that day I felt like crap. I started losing my mucus plug and thought that maybe my overall mood and me being uncomfortable was normal. This being my first pregnancy I figured it was my body getting […]
Samantha’s #BestOf2016
In May 2016 I had my second baby boy, Deacon, and Genia was my midwife again. When I arrived at the hospital she gave me a huge hug and said, “today is a great day to have a baby!” I then asked her what she had originally had planned for the day and learned that […]
Cyndi’s #BestOf2016
I had had my second son with Becca and Leah as my midwives in 2014. When I found out I was pregnant with my third baby in June, I emailed Generations right away. I was so happy to find out that both Becca and Leah would be my midwives again for this birth. […]
Chris’s #BestOf2016
We have lots of great memories from our time at Generations Midwifery, but one of my favourite moments of 2016 was catching our son, Hudson, as he was being born. Leading up to that moment, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to handle cutting his umbilical cord so I never expected to actually […]
