A montrice is for birth families who desire the support from midwife services, but plan to have a hospital birth. Montrice care includes some clinical judgment, which is outside of typical doula support. Birthing families often choose a montrice when they want to avoid unnecessary time limits and interventions typically experienced when going to the hospital earlier in the labor process vs. later.
Our Montrice package includes everything in the standard package plus +
