INDIVIDUALIZED CARE
A midwife is a primary care provider that manages healthy pregnancies and births. Licensed midwives (LM) provide the majority of planned home birth and birth center births in California. Licensed midwives provide safe, personalized care for heathy pregnancies where there is an absence of complications or variations that require a higher level of care.
Midwifery care includes monitoring pregnant womanʼs physical, emotional, and social well-being throughout the childbearing cycle, providing individualized prenatal care and continuous care during labor and birth. Additionally, care with a midwife routinely includes close follow up care and lactation support for mother and baby during the hours days, weeks and first two months after the birth. When necessary, licensed midwives refer clients to other health care providers, such as physicians, nutritionists, or physical therapists.
Licensed midwives meet and exceed the criteria set by the World Health Organization for safe maternal Care. As a result, families who plan care with a licensed midwife experience a cesarean rate of fewer than 15% and experience far fewer birth interventions. Licensed midwives evaluate the mother and baby vital signs throughout the course of care, order routine blood work, facilitate prenatal screening and carry the necessary tools for labor and birth: fetal heart monitors (dopplers), emergency and prophylactic medications, oxygen, I.V. fluids, and suturing materials for those with minor vaginal lacerations.
Licensed midwives are also emergency first responders when situations arise that
need immediate attention, such as resolving shoulder dystocia (the baby's head comes out but the shoulders get stuck), correcting heavy postpartum bleeding to prevent hemorrhage and helping newborn to breathe if it needs assistance at birth.
What is ‘Community birth'?
Community birth refers to childbirth that is planned to take place in your home or a freestanding birth center and is attended by a licensed health care provider.
CAM and CALM encourage all consumers to verify the license status of individual providers before starting care. The Safety of planned community birth is in the planning with a qualified provider.''

Doulas provide continuous emotional support. Offering wisdom and resources for pregnant women and their partners to prepare for labor and birth. Doulas give advice on comfort measures such as relaxation and positioning. The most crucial role of the doula is providing continuous emotional reassurance and nurturing though labor, birth or in the postpartum period. She is never the decision maker. She does not catch the baby at birth nor does she perform vaginal exams. The doula is often there in addition to the partner of the laboring woman to form a support team.
Monitrice Services include hands on support during labor which include clinical assessments such as monitoring vitals, monitoring baby's heart tones and assessing cervical dilation. Most Monitrices are apprenticing midwives who also do some doula work while working to obtain Medical Board Licensure.
