The cost of hiring a midwife in North Carolina can vary widely based on several factors such as the type of services provided, the experience level of the midwife, whether the birth is at home, in a birth center, or in a hospital, and if insurance covers part of the cost.
- Home Births: Midwives offering home birth services typically charge between $2,000 and $5,000. This fee often includes prenatal visits, the delivery, and postpartum visits.
- Birth Center Births: Birth centers can be a bit more expensive, ranging from $3,000 to $7,000. This cost usually covers the same type of care as home births but in a facility specially designed for midwifery care.
