MONITRICE DOULA & POSTPARTUM CARE

What is a Monitrice?

A Monitrice doula provides the perfect balance of emotional support and clinical expertise during labor. Like a doula, a Monitrice offers encouragement, comfort, and guidance to help you through your birthing journey. However, a Monitrice also brings additional medical skills, such as monitoring fetal heart tones, checking vital signs, and assessing cervical progress—all in the comfort of your home during early labor.


Monitrice vs. Doula: What’s the Difference?

While both provide essential support during labor, the difference lies in their roles:

  • A Doula focuses solely on non-clinical support, ensuring you feel nurtured, informed, and empowered throughout your birth experience.
  • A Monitrice combines the emotional and physical support of a doula with the ability to perform limited medical tasks, giving you peace of mind as you transition from home to your chosen birth setting.

Choosing a monitrice allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds—personalized care and professional expertise.



What is included: 

  • Up to 5 extra prenatal visits with your OB schedule
  • Monitrice services at home during labor, plus support transitioning to the hospital or birthing center
  • 2 postpartum visits


Fee: $3800
