My team and I assisting with vaginal birth at home, including monitoring for complications and intervening as necessary.
Postpartum Care
Monitoring the mother’s mental, physical, and emotional birth recovery. Including checking for postpartum hemorrhage, uterine involution, vitals, and emotional and mental well-being. Postpartum care includes a 24-hour in-home visit after birth, in-home day three visit (if applicable), and an in-home one-week postpartum visit. A six week follow up appointment (or sooner if needed) will be in office, situationally of course.
Emergency Protocols
Preparing documents and information during pregnancy with set plans, and implementing them if needed. Managing potential complications such as shoulder dystocia, hemorrhage, or cord prolapse, with a well-trained team and their necessary equipment.
Newborn Screening
Performing initial newborn screenings after birth, such as checking for jaundice, assessing reflexes, and checking overall health. At the 24-hour visit, we do another full newborn exam for our records and offer to perform the state required PKU testing for metabolic and genetic disorders that cannot be detected without specific screening.

A montrice is a care provider who acts as a doula, providing prenatal visits to help prepare birth plans and get you “ready” for birth. A montrice will provide emotional and physical support in labor but has the credentials and equipment to properly perform vaginal exams and assessment of the fetal and maternal wellness.
A montrice will labor with you at home, continuing to monitor vitals and FHT, running a chart for the findings, checking dilation, corresponding with your primary provider and informing families when she feels it’s “GO TIME”. Then they will move to the hospital for birth. The montrice will go to the hospital with the family (as long as she’s not due to labor with another client) and finish up care as a doula. If she is unable to go, she will call in another local doula to go in her place when possible.
