The cost of a midwife in Calgary, AB 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

    In Calgary, Alberta, midwifery services are covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) as long as the midwife is a registered and practicing midwife in the province. This coverage includes prenatal care, labor and delivery, and postnatal care. However, there may be additional costs for services or tests not covered by AHCIP, so it’s important to confirm with your midwife or health provider. Additionally, availability may be limited due to high demand, so early booking is recommended.

  • 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 Calgary, AB, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget.

Mary Harder

8 years of experience

My name is Mary Harder, and my passion is to serve families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have a deep commitment to creating positive birth experiences by empowering families through education, informed decision making, advocacy, and compassionate care. My journey as a birth worker began in 2017 where I attended the National College of Midwifery in Davao City, The Philippines. Working in a small birth centre, I was privileged to attend 100+ births in 2.5 years. My time there fully cemented my passion in caring for women and families through the most transformative time in life. In 2023, I gave birth to my first daughter. Experiencing my own birth further made me realize the profound impact that compassionate care and advocacy has on a birth experience. These experiences have equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, and informational needs of expecting parents. My commitment is to provide unwavering support through the childbirth journey. I honor and respect each family’s unique journey, supporting their choices and providing evidence based information to help them make informed decisions. I care deeply to create a safe and nurturing environment where families feel empowered, supported, and heard. My services include: -childbirth education -prenatal support -birth doula services -postpartum & newborn education

Recent review

I had the honour of having Mary as my doula for 2 of my pregnancies, one of which was twins! There were a lot of times of uncertainty because I was immediately classified as high risk but I was determined to have my twins naturally and with the least amount of interventions possible. I chose to go against the doctor’s advice for a c-section and follow my intuition to have a home birth even when met with adversity. She was extremely helpful because I needed someone I could vent to and she was supportive to the decisions I made while also informing me of all possible outcomes. She was extremely respectful to my birth plan and always gave great advice when I had questions. We ended up having a beautiful twin home birth and both babies are healthy and thriving. At times through my labour it was extremely difficult but she was there with me and encouraging me every step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula and I’m so grateful for her. She was there for me all throughout my pregnancy, birth and postpartum care and I couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Mary!
