What do you do if 2 people are in labour at the same time?
First of all it doesn’t happen very often that two people need you at exactly the same time. Two women may go into labour on the same day but one woman can have her baby in a few hours and there is still time to get to the other birth. With a two person midwifery practice we can split up when needed. All the midwives in Edmonton help each other out whether it means filling in as the primary care midwife or the back-up midwife.
