When it comes to being able to afford your prenatal, birth, and postpartum care, a Licensed Midwife is a great option! Costing approximately 50% less than what physician care and delivery in a hospital setting would cost you.

We are not accepting traditional insurance at this time since our self-pay discounted pricing is typically less expensive than it costs you to use your insurance.  However we do accept most of the Christian health share programs, and we are “preferred providers” with Christian Healthcare Ministries (CHM).  Please feel free to contact us for specifics regarding package pricing, discounts, monthly payment plans or for any other questions you have. 

Your “Birth Package” includes the following:

A midwife providing prenatal care to a pregnant woman. The midwife is performing a fundal height check to determine if growth of baby is on a normal track.

Pregnancy

  • 24-hour Midwife availability for any urgent questions/concerns you might have, from the moment of hire until your final postpartum visit

  • All of your prenatal visits with a Midwife, which will be monthly starting at 8-12 weeks to 28 weeks, every other week from 28 weeks to 36 weeks, and then weekly until delivery (unless needed more frequently)

  • Routine laboratory tests (these are typically collected during your visits, so there is no need to go to a separate facility)

  • Discounts on a variety of recommended supplements that we carry

Labor & Birth

  • All medical and non-medical equipment and supplies (there are no kits to purchase!)

  • Water birth tub and all necessary supplies needed for it (we even take care of cleaning it up for you afterwards!)

  • Continuous care, support and monitoring by a Midwife, during active labor, birth and immediately postpartum

  • An additional trained birth professional to assist the Midwife at your birth so there are two sets of hands present in case of any complications

Postpartum

  • Herbal bath postpartum for you and your baby
