Paying for Midwifery Care
We understand that investing in midwifery care is a significant financial commitment. To help make this care accessible, here are some creative and practical ways to cover the cost of midwifery services:
Treat Birth Like Other Major Life Events: Many people save and plan financially for their wedding, recognizing its significance as a life milestone. The birth of your child is just as important—if not more so—and planning for this event can ensure you have the support and care you need.
Baby Shower Contributions: If you’re planning a baby shower, ask guests to contribute to your midwifery care in lieu of traditional gifts. You can create a registry or fund specifically for this purpose to make it easy for loved ones to contribute.
Ask for Help from Friends and Family: Loved ones often want to support you during this special time. Consider reaching out for financial support, or ask family members to pool their resources into a fund for your care.
Payment Plans: We offer flexible payment plans to help spread out the cost of care. Please let us know if this option would help you.
Employer and Financial Resources: Check if your employer offers Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Health Savings Accounts (HSA), or wellness stipends that may cover midwifery services.
Community Support and Crowdfunding: Platforms like GoFundMe allow you to share your story and invite your broader community to support your midwifery care.
Sliding Scale Options: If financial constraints make paying full price difficult, you may qualify for our sliding scale. Please review our Financial Need and Sliding Scale Guide for details.
We hope these suggestions help you find creative and sustainable ways to invest in your midwifery care. If you have additional questions or need guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
