The cost of a midwife in Burien, WA can be influenced by several factors:

  • Type of Midwife

    Certified Nurse-Midwives (CNMs) who work in hospital settings may have different pricing than Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) who attend home births or birth center deliveries.

  • Birth Setting

    Hospital births with a midwife typically cost less out-of-pocket when covered by insurance, while home births and birth center deliveries may have different fee structures.

  • Scope of Services

    Many midwives offer comprehensive packages that include prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care, which can affect the overall cost.

  • Insurance Coverage

    Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Burien, WA, depends on your specific insurance plan and the midwife's credentials. Many insurance plans, including Medicaid in Washington state, cover licensed midwives, particularly for prenatal care, childbirth, and postpartum services. However, coverage can vary based on the network, the type of midwife (licensed, certified nurse-midwife, etc.), and whether the care is provided in a hospital, birthing center, or home setting. It's important to check directly with your insurance provider and the midwife to confirm coverage, costs, and any out-of-pocket expenses.

  • Experience and Specialization

    Midwives with extensive experience, additional certifications, or specializations such as VBAC support or water birth may charge higher rates.

  • Geographic Location

    Midwifery costs can vary based on the cost of living and demand for midwifery services in your specific area.

When considering hiring a midwife in Burien, WA, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget. During consultations, you can discuss their specific services, insurance acceptance, and pricing structure to ensure you have a clear understanding of what is included and the associated costs.

I highly recommend having Jordan as your doula. Our experience with Jordan was 11/10; she was magic. Jordan makes everything easy. She listened to what my husband and I were each hoping for in our birth experience and helped us get there! We learned so much from her to truly understand all our options, to really make welcoming our little one what we wanted. We had a lot of questions and Jordan answered every question we had without fail, with both honesty and reassurance. If she didn’t already know the answer from her wealth of experience, she would find the answer and always follow up. No question was ever too big, small or silly; we always felt comfortable asking her. Jordan goes above and beyond. From arranging to stay nearby so that she wouldn’t miss a thing when our due date came to sending exercises to prep for labor to helping us postpartum, Jordan has become someone we trust wholeheartedly. We count ourselves very lucky to have her in our corner and will definitely call her if we are expecting again!

I am certified as a birth doula through DONA and serve women in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Kitsap County and surrounding areas. I do cross the Narrows bridge to hospitals in Tacoma as well. I do take Medicaid clients as well as tricare. Homebirth is near and dear to me and I experienced it for my births as well. It has also been a privilege to support those wanting to VBAC or birth in a hospital space. It’s exciting to learn about and practice Spinning Babies and other support measures to better serve birthing women.

Carol has been my birth doula twice, and her support was invaluable each time. From the prenatal stage—helping me with birth planning, stretching, and essential oils—to the labor itself, she guided with practical knowledge and grace. Her hip squeezes provided significant relief during intense labor, and she was a steadfast advocate for my wishes, helping me achieve lower-intervention births in a hospital setting. Carol is remarkably calm in high-stress moments. After discovering my baby was breech, her specialized knowledge of breech delivery helped inform my decisions, gave me confidence to do what I felt was right for my baby and I, and supported me through to a successful vaginal breech delivery. Compared to my first birth, having Carol as my doula made a huge difference in helping me feel secure, contributing to all-around more positive birth experiences.
