Birth & Midwifery Groups Western Cape

There are two main options open to a pregnant woman when having a baby in Cape Town: midwife or ginaecologist. Whichever the woman choose, the midwife or gynaecologist will remain the person in charge of her care throughout the pregnancy and will be present at the birth so there is very reassuring continuity of care. Here are some contacts for private midwives. Please feel free to add to the list and give your recommendations. Most of the private hospitals in Cape Town offer antenatal classes which  must be paid.
