if home birth is not an option for you 

A Monitrice is the bridge between both worlds.

We provide you with a midwifery perspective throughout your prenatal, birth and post partum. We monitor you and your baby's well being at home during labor and help you to decide when to go to the hospital. We can perform internal exams as well as provide neonatal resuscitation and breastfeeding and postpartum care.  After the birth we assist in breastfeeding and monitor your newborn transition at your home.
