Attends hospital births? All Hospitals Attends birth center births? No Birth Centers There are currently no birth centres in Nova Scotia. Attends home births? Some Home Births There are no midwives practicing in my region of Nova Scotia, so (midwife-attended) homebirth is not an option for families.
