The RCP Midwifery Report

The RCP Midwifery report presents data from the Nova Scotia Atlee Perinatal Database (NSAPD). The report provides a comprehensive analysis of midwifery practices in Nova Scotia, with a focus on key areas such as the number of births, place of birth, number of active midwives, hospital versus home births, and urban vs rural location of births. This aggregated data report presents indicators at both the provincial level and by zone of birthing parent residence. For the purposes of this report, a midwifery client is defined as a client who met at least two of the following three criteria: at least one prenatal visit, at least one postpartum visit, and a midwife present at birth, as either the first or second attendant. Data for 2023 is incomplete.
