At the beginning of your pregnancy, you will want to consult a doctor or a midwife to discuss your pregnancy follow-up. You have the option to give birth in several different locations (Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne, Hôpital du Haut-Richelieu, Maison de naissance du Richelieu, or at home).
The practical guide From Tiny Tot to Toddler is given out to future parents for free and is also available online. This guide contains useful advice and information about the resources available to you, the stages of pregnancy, your baby’s development, etc. For more information, you can also visit the Portail Santé mieux-être.

High-risk pregnancy
If a doctor or a midwife detects a problem with your pregnancy during your prenatal follow-up, they will refer you to the hospital’s high-risk pregnancy (GARE) clinic.
Certain health problems require close follow-up to make sure your pregnancy progresses normally. The multidisciplinary team at the GARE clinic provides this follow‑up.
Are you having problems during your pregnancy and can’t reach your doctor?
If you are not yet 20 weeks pregnant, go to the walk-in clinic at your doctor’s office or to the Emergency department. If you are more than 20 weeks pregnant, go to the walk-in clinic at your doctor’s office or call the hospital directly.
