For midwives + doulas + birth centers

AI Receptionist for Midwives, Doulas + Birth Centers

Midwifery + doula collectives, birth centers, perinatal practices, lactation consultants. Labor calls ("my water broke," contractions, decreased fetal movement) get same-urgency-as-ER routing. Preeclampsia + HELLP + postpartum-hemorrhage symptoms flagged with extra vigilance for Black callers (CDC 2.6x maternal mortality disparity). Doula vs midwife scope distinctions preserved.

What your callers hear

Thanks for calling. Are you in labor right now, calling about prenatal or postpartum care, or about a consultation?

Built for the calls midwives + doulas + birth centers actually get

Labor-call triage 24/7 (safety.ts rule 11b)

"My water broke," timing contractions, decreased fetal movement (>2hr), preeclampsia symptoms (severe headache + vision changes + epigastric pain), HELLP signs, heavy bleeding, preterm labor (<37 weeks), postpartum hemorrhage — all trigger immediate 911 + midwife page. The AI does NOT minimize even when the caller herself sounds calm. Black-callers + Black-led midwifery: the safety net of fast triage matters more than for any other demographic.

Doula vs midwife scope distinction preserved

Doulas don't catch babies, don't give meds, don't perform clinical assessment — they provide labor support + advocacy. Midwives (CPM, CNM scopes vary by state) have clinical scope including catching, suturing, prescribing within state-specific authority. The AI never collapses the two; intake captures which role the caller is calling about + routes to the right team member.

Dignity-first Medicaid + sliding-scale intake

Many birth-center clients use Medicaid (state expansion + emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrant clients) or sliding-scale (uninsured / underinsured). The AI surfaces these options proactively (not as a stigmatized checkbox) — "we accept Medicaid + offer sliding scale + grant-funded slots; tell me what works for your family."

State-specific midwifery legal framework

Midwifery scope varies wildly by state: GA + AL + KY are CPM-restrictive (no statutory license); CA + WA + OR + AZ + NM have full CPM licensure; CNM has a different scope. Your state's framework is encoded in your knowledge base; the AI quotes accurately about what you can / can't do for a caller in your state.

How it works for midwives + doulas + birth centers

  • Postpartum-mood crisis routing (PPD + PPP)

    Postpartum depression with self-harm risk, postpartum psychosis with command hallucinations or psychotic features — both trigger 911 + 988 (women's behavioral health) + Postpartum Support International 1-800-944-4773 + clinician page per safety.ts rule 12. Real-world: the AI catches this from "I haven't slept in 4 days, I can't stop crying, I keep having thoughts about hurting the baby" — most missed PPP presentations.

  • Hospital-transfer protocol

    Out-of-hospital midwifery + birth-center transfers happen ~10-15% of low-risk births. Captures transfer reason, hospital destination, current vital signs + EFW, gravida/para. Communicates with the receiving hospital via your established channels.

  • AAE voice (Jessica Cashay) for Black-led collectives

    Round 4-shipped: AAE-native voice is available for Black-led birth collectives. Per-caller-language routing means Spanish-speaking clients hear Spanish, English-speaking clients hear your default (Jessica Cashay if that's your pick), all from call one.

FAQ for midwives + doulas + birth centers

Active labor at 3am — does the AI handle it?

Yes. Per safety.ts rule 11b, labor calls trigger immediate 911 + midwife on-call paging, with a real-time triage script: water-broken status, contraction timing (frequency / duration / intensity), bleeding (light spotting vs heavy), decreased fetal movement, preeclampsia symptoms. Bypasses all after-hours rules. Critical: never "we'll call you back" for active labor.

Black maternal mortality awareness — is this real or marketing?

Real. Safety rule 11b explicitly notes the CDC 2.6x disparity and instructs the AI to flag preeclampsia / HELLP / PPH symptoms without minimizing even when the caller sounds calm. The AAE voice (Jessica Cashay) is real and available for Black-led collectives. We've audited this with Black birth workers specifically (persona audit Round 10, Aisha Thompson). Honest gap: we don't yet have GA-CPM-restrictive-state-specific intake templates pre-built — you encode your state's framework in your knowledge base.

Doula vs midwife scope — distinguished?

Yes. The AI never tells a caller a doula can "catch the baby" or that a doula can give medication. Intake captures which role the caller is asking about (doula-only labor support, midwife clinical care, both) + routes to the right team member with the right scope.

Medicaid + sliding-scale intake without stigma?

Yes. Surfaced proactively: "we accept [your state Medicaid program] + offer sliding scale + grant-funded slots; tell me what works for your family." Not buried under "insurance carrier — please specify." The dignity-first framing matters.

Postpartum depression + psychosis — crisis routing?

Yes. PPD with self-harm risk triggers 988 + Postpartum Support International (1-800-944-4773) + clinician page. PPP (postpartum psychosis) — command hallucinations, paranoia, agitation, "I can't stop having thoughts about hurting the baby" — triggers 911 immediately. Both bypass after-hours rules. This is one of the highest-stakes intakes you'll receive.
