The cost of a midwife in Grand Forks, ND 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

    North Dakota Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, as required of Medicaid programs nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries depends on the plan and does not apply uniformly to all North Dakota members. Grand Forks has no midwives listed within 60 miles, which may limit local options. Private insurance benefits should be confirmed directly with the insurer.

  • 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 Grand Forks, ND, 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 have always enjoyed helping others. I started my training in the medical field at the young age of 17 when I became a Certified Nurse Assistant. I continued my studies and became a Certified Medical Assistant, Although pregnancy was not easy for my body I thoroughly enjoyed being pregnant. With each pregnancy I was taught natural ways to cope and how to give my body what it needed. This gave me the desire to help other women, that desire continued to grow through each of my 5 pregnancies/ births to the point that I delivered my last baby unassisted and was able to catch her myself. I began my formal training with DONA in 2022 and became a certified birth doula in 2023. I have since worked with 4 midwives. in doing so I have gained great hands on experience and knowledge. I have been blessed to help many women through their own birth experiences. I look forward to continuing to serve and empower women for years to come. I want to continue the tradition of empowering and enriching women’s pregnancies and births, like my midwives did for me. Being a doula I get to do just that

I had Stephanie as my doula a couple years ago and right from the start I knew it was the right decision! My pregnancy was not easy, but Stephanie was there with words of encouragement, kindness and no judgment. When it came time to deliver, she was at my bedside with lots of trips and tricks up her sleeve! In times where she needed to help relax me, she was able to relax my husband too! She was never pushy, never made me try something I did not want to do and most importantly, she was kind and respectful not only to our family but to our doctor and the hospital staff as well! If we ever choose to get pregnant again, the moment we find out I am calling 2 people...our daycare to get on the waiting list and Stephanie to make sure she is with us every step of the way!

Hi! I'm Amber Hage, and I'm so glad you're here. I'm a birth and postpartum doula, birth and family photographer, placenta encapsulation specialist, and pediatric sleep consultant based in Fargo, North Dakota. As the founder of Fargo Birth, I have the privilege of leading an incredible team—including my sister—as we walk alongside families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond. My goal is simple: to help you feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. Whether I'm providing hands-on support during labor, preserving your birth story through photography, preparing your placenta, or helping your family find more restful nights, I want you to know you don't have to navigate this journey alone. I believe every family deserves compassionate, personalized care that honors their unique goals and values. No two births—or families—are the same, which is why I take the time to truly get to know you and provide support tailored to your needs. Before founding Fargo Birth, I earned degrees in Business Management & Marketing and Masters in Educational Leadership. Those experiences have helped me build a team and organization focused on excellence, education, and exceptional client care, while never losing sight of what matters most—the families we serve. When I'm not supporting clients, you'll usually find me spending time with my husband and our three boys, cheering them on at the hockey rink, watching reality TV, or helping my kids grow their own entrepreneurial adventures. It would be an honor to be part of your story and support your family through this incredible season of life.

Hello! As a Registered Nurse, along with Birth and Postpartum Doula, I have been attending hospital maternity units, birthing centres and home births for 25 years. It is my own birth story with my oldest son, as well as the story of many other women that I have been honoured to journey along with over these many years, which is the reason that I founded Blessed Beginnings for Mama & Me Nursing. So, mothers, their partners and babes will feel loved, cared for and supported. I will also be your best friend, safety net and cheerleader during your labour & delivery, recovery and postpartum period, helping you to overcome the challenges, celebrate the milestones and get the much needed rest you need in between. I am here to help, you don't have to do this alone. Be gentle on yourselves at this incredibly amazing, but also trying time. Remember you and this new little babe have been born and are growing. I hope I can be a part of your journey. I offer birth doula services (in-person and virtual), registered nursing postpartum doula day and night services (in-person and virtual), childbirth education (private, group, and virtual), lactation education (private, group and virtual) and lactation consulting services.
