Reading now: 144
A Nova Scotia couple is calling on the provincial government to reverse its decision to temporarily suspend home births during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On March 30, the Nova Scotia Health Authority and IWK Health Centre announced home births would be suspended until at least April 30.
The statement on the IWK Health Centre website reads in part: “the decision to suspend all home care including homebirth was made within the context of high level pandemic planning.” The statement goes on to say the ultimate goal of pandemic planning is to slow community spread.
Ward doesn’t feel that decision is what’s best for her family. She’s due to deliver her first child in May and has chosen to have a home birth with the support of a midwife. [ Sign up
