A monitrice is a midwife acting as a doula. With the extra skills a monitrice possesses, they provide prenatal, labor, and postpartum support but are not your primary care provider. People usually hire a monitrice instead of a doula if they want to be able to listen to the baby’s heartbeat at home in labor or would like to have cervical checks and the advanced labor management that comes along with them. They offer advanced postpartum support as well. Read more below!
