Robyn Mary James, 67, has pleaded not guilty after Vicki Butler, 41, died the day she gave birth at her Ipswich home west of Brisbane on December 27, 2017.
James did not have her bag containing her stethoscope or a blood pressure monitor when she arrived at Ms Butler's house about 5am, Brisbane Supreme Court was told on Tuesday.
"She had nothing," crown prosecutor Greg Cummings said.
He said the court would also hear a nearly eight-minute triple zero call in which operators instructed James on how to perform CPR.
"A large portion of the triple zero call is devoted to giving detailed instructions to Dr James in performing CPR," Mr Cummings told the jury of 10 women and four men.
The prosecution alleged Ms Butler died as a result of a postpartum haemorrhage which she suffered between James's arrival and when the doctor called an ambulance at 6.42am.
Photos retrieved from Ms Butler's phone of her with her newborn showed she had given birth between 3.22am and 4.07am.
Ms Butler initially called James at 3am to tell her her waters had broken and that she felt something was wrong, jurors were told.
When James arrived, Ms Butler and her child both appeared to be doing well but the mother later deteriorated.
While James called an ambulance, Ms Butler yelled at the doctor from the bathroom not to do so, saying she did not want to go to hospital.
By the time ambulance officers arrived at 6.50am, Ms Butler was clammy, not breathing and had a faint pulse.
She was rushed to Ipswich General Hospital, where doctors spent all day trying to revive her, transfusing 23 units of blood.
She was pronounced dead at 6.15pm.
The jury heard Ms Butler was at high risk of postpartum haemorrhage due to her age and her number of pregnancies, but chose to deliver her child at home.
The child survived.
It is alleged that James was criminally negligent in her delay in seeking emergency assistance for Ms Butler.
It was further alleged she breached her duty of care to Ms Butler in that she should have recognised the symptoms of postpartum haemorrhage and known the potentially fatal consequences.
The trial, before Justice Elizabeth Watson, continues.
