Doula Consultation

What's Included:

What's a Montrice Doula? A monitrice doula is essentially a Midwife acting in the doula role, who also has clinical training in labor assessment. What's the difference between a Montrice & a doula? A doula provides non-clinical educational, emotional, and physical labor support and client advocacy. A monitrice provides this doula care alongside clinical labor assessments, during the portion of your labor spent at home, such as listening to and evaluating baby’s heartbeat, evaluating maternal vital signs, performing vaginal exams, and helping you decide the optimal time to head to the hospital. Once you enter the hospital setting, all clinical assessments shift to your hospital nurses and care providers, and the monitrice continues to provide doula support.
