Why this exists
You've prepared for your baby. But what about you?
Pregnancy comes with questions that don't always arrive at an appointment. Labour can begin quietly. Recovery can look different than expected. And it can be hard to know which advice to trust.
- How will I know when labour is actually starting?
- What will I really need for birth and recovery?
- What is normal, and when should I call my care provider?
- How can my partner actually help?
The Midwife Box was created to put practical tools and clear, reassuring education in your hands before you need them.
Who created these
I'm Kate Fawcett, a registered Canadian midwife and a mother.
I created The Midwife Box to help women feel more informed and prepared through pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Each box combines useful, full-sized products with general educational resources written from my years of midwifery experience. The Midwife Box does not provide individualized midwifery care or medical advice.

Free Early Labour Guide
Not sure if it's labour?
One of the biggest questions leading up to birth is simple: how will I know when it's actually happening? Labour is usually a process, not an event. This free guide helps you understand the first signs, what early labour can look like, what you can do at home, and when to call your care provider.

The education isn't an extra. It's part of the product.
