The Visit Schedule
24–36 Hours: Your first check-up focuses on physical stabilization and initial screenings.
Days 3 & 7: These visits prioritize feeding success, weight tracking, and emotional support.
Weeks 2, 4, & 6: Ongoing monitoring of your recovery and your baby’s growth.
What We Assess at Each Visit
For the Birthing Person:
Physical Recovery: We monitor vitals, uterine involution (the uterus returning to size), and the healing of any tears or sutures.
Lactation Support: Comprehensive help with latch, positioning, and breast health to meet your feeding goals.
Emotional Well-being: Ongoing screenings for postpartum mood disorders and space to process your birth story.
For the Newborn:
Clinical Wellness: We track weight gain, umbilical cord healing, and screen for jaundice.
Heart Screening (CCHD): Performed at the first home visit (24–48 hours) to ensure healthy heart function.
Hearing Screening: We provide professional, non-invasive hearing screenings in home. So gentle, we can test while your baby sleeps. You will have instant results after the test concludes.
Blood Spot Screening: We provide the essential newborn blood spot screening—a quick, safe heel prick that checks for rare but serious metabolic and genetic conditions. Identifying these early is key to ensuring your baby receives immediate care if needed, often before any symptoms even appear.
Vital Records: We handle the official filing of the birth certificate and Social Security card application.

Monitrice Care
Monitrice services fill a unique gap by offering the clinical expertise of a midwife along with the emotional support of a doula to those planning a hospital birth. A monitrice provides comprehensive prenatal education and, uniquely, comes to the home during early labor to check vitals, assess cervical dilation, and monitor fetal heart tones. This allows families to labor at home for as long as possible before heading to the hospital, avoiding early admission and potential unnecessary interventions. Once at the hospital, the monitrice switches to a non-clinical, doula-only role to provide advocacy, support, and comfort, and they often return to offer in-home postpartum care.

Physical Comfort: Assisting with positioning, massage, and hydrotherapy to manage labor sensations.
Partner Support: Guiding your partner on how to effectively support you through each stage of labor.
