Seventh Generation Midwives Toronto.

I had the pleasure of being a patient/client of Seventh Generation throughout the pregnancy and birth of my daughter. I cannot say enough positive things about the team at Seventh generation. From our first appointment they made us feel comfortable and supported for our first pregnancy. They were extremely committed to ensuring all of our questions were answered and when we found out I would have to have a c-section, they made sure that I was comfortable with that procedure as well and introduced us to an amazing OB at Sunnybrook. Kendra is especially amazing and anyone would be lucky to work with her. She is kind, competent and calm and made my pregnancy and birth experience enjoyable.

Love love love my midwife team here! Couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and engaging team. Special thanks to Rocio, Kate and Claire. They are truly superstars and love what they do. The care and attention they gave both myself and husband throughout my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum care was amazing! Would recommend them 100x over

I came to SGMT because I knew they have privileges at Sunnybrook hospital. I knew I wanted a hospital birth but I also wanted midwives for the postpartum after care. I was so relieved to receive a call back, as I was worried that I would not after being upfront on my application about wanting a hospital birth.My period of care with SGMT was between July 2021 to March 2022. My primary midwives were Jennifer and Rocio, along with a student of midwifery, Tamara. I also had one appointment with Kendra as a back-up, and one appointment with Claire, the hospitalist midwife.Jennifer was who I had my first appointment with, we connected immediately over our love of knitting, and our senses of humour. After we initially discussed my birth wish, hopes and fears, Jenn was 100% on the same page with me, and that immediately helped me feel understood and like I was in good hands for the best care. This continued throughout my pregnancy. I always felt like my wishes were respected while being realistic about possible risk factors in my case.Rocio was the second midwife I met with, who was another warm spirited person that I felt comfortable with immediately. Rocio is very observant and was quite thorough when explaining answers to many of our questions.Tamara became involved after a few appointments, and having a student of midwifery with the team was something I really appreciated. I felt like I was learning too when there would be a teaching moment, and it reinforced my confidence in the abilities and skills of my care team. Tamara is kind, professional, and always took care in double checking her findings for accuracy.Claire I met with at Sunnybrook hospital to discuss and prepare for a transfer of care. Claire was wonderful about explaining all the details for what to expect with a scheduled delivery and it helped me feel relieved about the change in my birth plan. It was also comforting to know that there was an SGMT midwife based out of the hospital should there have been a situation where I arrived at the hospital before my midwife care team.Although my birth wish evolved into a revised plan, I felt that my care team did their jobs well. Everything went according to plan, there were no complications or emergencies with the delivery, and for that I am grateful.After the first 48hrs with our newborn, we experienced some concerns. Both Jenn and Rocio were super supportive (and tolerant) of my anxiety (and panic) during the first week, so an extra home visit was arranged with Kendra. Kendra was really good at assessing the situation without having ever been involved with our care. Kendra recognized that our feeding plan required temporary modification and wrote out detailed notes for a revised feeding plan. This was so helpful and very appreciated because we were so sleep deprived and stressed out about the most important task of feeding our baby.During another one of our aftercare appointments, Rocio noticed a possible something worth looking into, and referred us to a lactation clinic. Although the lactation clinic experience at first made me feel more stressed out about the process of feeding, they did confirm that what Rocio suspected was right and they provided us with recommendations that made the biggest difference with the success of our feeding goals.I felt very sad when we graduated and were discharged from SGMT as I absolutely loved my entire experience. I can not recommend this clinic enough. Every interaction I had with each staff member was great. The clinic space and examination rooms were always clean and organized, and I absolutely loved my care team. I will always and forever hold SGMT close to my heart <3

Our experience could not have been more pleasant. The entire team, from the midwives to the secretaries was very professional yet warm. Everyone there is trying to help you in a genuine way.I would definitely recommend this center for anyone that wants to be treated like a Queen.Being able to speak on my language with Rocio during the birth was a plus. My lead midwife was Sarah and she really nailed it on every visit.My son was born at Sunnybrook Hospital, and the facilities were incredible. Also with a wonderful staff.I wish I could give them a 10 ⭐️

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. I was referred to SGMT through my family doctor when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. From start to finish myself and my family were welcomed with love, respect and admiration. My midwife was Natalie, who always made me feel comfortable and did a BOMB A*S job in the delivery room!! After my baby was born, Natalie committed to thorough home visits and made sure that we were doing well. She is absolutely phenomenal! Susan, the receptionist is one of the sweetest human beings you would ever come across in your lifetime. My daughter is now a healthy, smart and intellectual 5 year old and I couldn't thank SGMT enough for the outstanding care that we received. Sending much love, from Kelsey & Trinity!!!

Picking seventh generation midwives was the best decision we made throughout my wife pregnancy.We had exceptional support and outstanding experience especially from Natalie and Brittany - they provided us with all the guidance to ensure we are on track, they checked on the baby’s health before and after the delivery, and made sure my wife is healthy and had easy delivery.They took care of us from point A to Z, and both of us enjoyed the experience. We delivered our baby at Sunnybrook with both of them present, they kept visiting us after the delivery and calling to make sure our baby is alright.Thank you so much! We will be forever grateful!

The midwives and staff at SGMT are a gift to expecting families in Toronto - especially for Indigenous families!Our midwives, Kendra and Emma, gave us the support we needed to navigate our first pregnancy in a culturally responsive way. As first time parents we had a lot of anxiety around pregnancy, labour and delivery, and postpartum. They gave us the most incredible ongoing care throughout pregnancy, which resulted in a beautiful birth experience at the Toronto Birth Centre. They were always available over the phone for any questions and concerns we had, day or night, during pregnancy and 6 weeks postpartum. Our midwives came to our home for the first two weeks following the birth of our son, which any new mom would tell you is the absolute best!Experienced, knowledgeable, and exceptionally generous with their time and energies...what more could you ask for in prenatal and postnatal care??

I Called this place today, simply to ask informations, but as soon as the phone lady heard me speaking, literally, only to say hello and tell the purpose of my first call, she hung up on me, than transferred all my subsequent calls to the voice machine!I hoped to find Good willed women and empathetic midwives there, but I was wrong. I'm glad bad people are so easily recognizable: Not by their foreign accent; but by their despicable actions.

I was in the middle of moving and was lucky that they accepted me as a client, after the initial meeting with Kim (she's amazing), which was about 45mins where I voiced my concerns from my first midwifery experience, she made sure everything was addressed. I delivered about maybe only 2 sessions with her. My concerns were to make sure the entire placenta comes out and to have more frequent contact during contraction onset. She and her wonderful team (Jill and student Emily) addressed those concerns and more. All three of them stayed with me and were so compassionate and caring. They motivated me and guided me. I could not have asked for a better team. The experience with Kim and my first midwifery was night and day. Thank you so much 7 generations!
