The cost of a midwife in Clearwater, FL 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

    Florida Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care in Clearwater, including prenatal, birth, and postpartum services, as federal Medicaid rules require this benefit nationwide. Coverage for home or birth-center births attended by licensed or certified professional midwives varies among plans and is not guaranteed for every Florida Medicaid member. The local market is modest, with six midwives listed within 60 miles of Clearwater. For private insurance, review your plan’s midwifery benefits and provider network.

  • 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 Clearwater, FL, 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.

Hi, I’m Alexa Thode—founder of Ground & Grow Birth Co. and a certified prenatal and labor doula, postpartum and infant care doula, and childbirth educator, serving families across Tampa Bay, Florida. I believe birth is sacred, and no one should have to walk through it alone. With a calm presence, evidence-based knowledge, and intuitive care, I support families through the emotional, physical, and spiritual waves of labor and postpartum. I’m also trained through Tampa General Hospital to assist in the OR and PACU, allowing me to remain a steady support during cesarean births when permitted. My approach is holistic, nurturing, and deeply personal. I offer guidance with comfort measures, birth planning, lactation, newborn care, and postpartum healing—while creating space for families to feel heard, empowered, and supported. Whether you’re planning your first birth or adding another little one to your family, I’m here to help you feel grounded and grow through each step. Let’s connect and explore how I can best support you.

Recent review

For someone as neurotic as me, Alexa helped make my birthing process sooooo much better. Alexa listened with intention and care, validating every single one of my concerns and quirks with warmth and professionalism. She honored my birth plan with immaculate precision (down to every little detail I had mapped out) and still managed to create a nurturing, peaceful, and empowering space that helped me feel safe, supported, and seen. Alexa brought both calm and confidence into the delivery room. Her presence is so grounding and calm! Which is exactly what I needed (and she knew). I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who blends knowledge with soulful, heart-centered support, Alexa is a perfect doula for you.
