Magnificent Mezuzahs

Magnificent Mezuzahs

What an exciting few weeks this has been!

Not only did we recently hold our official clinic open house, which gave us the chance to share our beautiful new space with many of our beloved families, friends and colleagues, we also performed the traditional Jewish practice of placing mezuzahs in our doorways.

Mezuzahs are comprised of a small piece of parchment placed within a permanent case and affixed to the inside edge of a doorframe. The parchment is inscribed with special spiritual scriptures from the Jewish bible (Torah) and sealed in a weather-proofed housing. It is believed that these holy scrolls provide a good omen for blessings, health and good fortune. 


May Uptown Midwives & Family Wellness, and all those who pass through our doors grow to see an abundance of these blessings!

Decoding labour pains - how to tell the difference between a cranky uterus and the real deal.

Your uterus, like any other muscle in your body, gets cranky and tired with use and will complain more loudly if you've been particularly active or are a little dehydrated. Unfortunately, the pains tend to be worse at night, just when you're trying to sleep.
