SERVICES PROVIDED:

• A beautiful, private delivery suite located at the Little Current site of Manitoulin Health Centre provides a wonderful environment to have your baby

• At the beginning of labour, women present themselves to the hospital in Little Current where they are assessed and if the time is right, they are admitted to the birthing suite

• The hospital provides one-to-one nursing support for labouring women (i.e. a nurse dedicated just to them) 

• We monitor the baby by listening to his/her heartbeat with the handheld Doppler, similar to the one used in prenatal appointments, instead of being connected to a continuous monitor

• Women can bring in multiple support people, including partners, parents, etc. that they would like to have involved in their labour and delivery
