The cost of a midwife in Lake Oswego, OR 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

    Oregon Medicaid covers prenatal, birth, and postpartum care attended by certified nurse-midwives because this service is required under Medicaid nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or in birth centers depends on the Oregon Medicaid plan and does not extend to every member. Lake Oswego has a modest local selection, with five midwives listed within 60 miles. For private insurance, confirm network status and midwifery benefits directly with your plan.

  • 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 Lake Oswego, OR, 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 Kim, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m the owner of Birthing Days Doula Services and a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and sleep consultant serving families throughout the Portland metro area. For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than 250 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and those early days of parenthood. From hospital births and inductions to cesareans, VBACs, birth centers, and home births, I believe every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and never alone. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and completely judgment-free. Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, preparing for a cesarean, or simply wanting someone in your corner, I’m here to help you feel confident, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Families often tell me that having me by their side feels like having both a knowledgeable guide and a trusted friend. I’ll cheer you on, help you navigate decisions, provide practical support, and remind you that you are capable of doing hard things. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me spending time with my husband of 25 years and our three children, reading, traveling, camping, or cheering on the Oregon Ducks. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're looking for support that is calming, encouraging, and personalized to your family, I would love the opportunity to walk alongside you during this incredible season of life.

Kim was so helpful- a calming and informative presence. This was so needed, especially when everything went haywire- she adapted to our needs as I went into labor a month early, and had to unexpectedly change hospitals. She was quite literally my only predictable factor in this experience. Her advocacy and communication skills were always on point, and she was so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

In 2021, I was pregnant with my second kiddo and excited to welcome another baby at Bella Vie in Salem. I met Amanda at my second or third appointment and immediately knew she was the midwife for me. She was incredibly easy to talk to, clear about what we were looking for at each appointment and why, and always had thoughtful answers and advice regarding any questions or concerns I brought up. As a huge bonus, my 3-year-old loved her! The day I gave birth, Amanda was exactly where I needed her, when I needed her. She offered tailored support through gentle guidance and confident reminders that I was safe and so very capable. My first few postpartum hours were also a breeze because of Amanda- both my baby and I were helped to rest and closely monitored for proper signs of healing. Every question and concern was met with knowledgeable, timely care. She is an amazing human being and midwife, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough ♡

As a doula, clinical herbalist, and massage therapist, I walk alongside mothers with a presence that is both gentle and deeply grounded. I believe that healing thrives in environments of trust, tenderness, and nourishment, and I cultivate that space for every family I serve. The fourth trimester is a sacred window of transformation, and my role is to help you move through it with steadiness, warmth, and compassionate support. My philosophy is rooted in honoring your intuition and the ancient wisdom of the body. I offer a holistic blend of postpartum care, therapeutic touch, and plant-based remedies to help soothe the nervous system, reduce tension, and support your full-body healing. Whether preparing nourishing meals, providing bodywork, or simply holding space for your emotions, my intention is always the same: to help you feel seen, supported, and deeply resourced as you settle into life with your baby.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She is an incredible chef, a knowledgeable herbalist, a skilled masseuse, and truly one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. We feel so blessed to have found her and for everything she has brought into our lives. As a postpartum doula, she was unbelievably supportive. She helped with the baby, cooked nourishing meals for me, and did light household chores—relieving so much pressure during those early weeks. She meal-prepped any recipe I requested and offered thoughtful suggestions based on where I was in my postpartum journey.  Her herbal remedies were also a game changer. She created custom teas to support when I had low iron and low vitamin D, as well as one one to help with UTIs. Her tinctures are some of the best I’ve ever tasted—smooth rather than harsh. I especially loved the schisandra berry elixir, the lion’s mane elixir, and the cacao reishi elixir. I also used her seasonal oxymel for allergies. Her skincare products are equally amazing; her womb-warming oil and belly balm tallow both smelled incredible and made me feel so cared for. On top of all that, she is a fantastic masseuse. She even taught me a few massage techniques to help break down scar tissue from my emergency cesarean.If you’re looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated doula, Jennifer is your lady!

Sage feels called to this work as a natural-born caregiver who has loved working with babies from a young age. As she grew up, Sage discovered her passion for supporting not just babies, but the whole family as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. She has spent the last 10 years working with infants and toddlers as a professional nanny, which has given her a talent for thinking on her feet and attuning to the needs of others. Sage is a proud Oregonian and was born and raised in Portland! She is an inquisitive life-long learner, crafting enthusiast, and enjoys being out in nature whenever she can.

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.

We are so grateful for Zoe’s loving support this past year as our doula. Zoe worked with us as a postpartum doula after our son Emmett was born. Her support was intuitive and natural, easily fitting in to our lives and jumping in to support in all the right ways. She was incredibly helpful both in practical ways helping us get back on track with our daily routine, but also was a wealth of information about breastfeeding, newborn phases and milestones, and labor recovery. Zoe shared helpful resources related to where we were at in the postpartum and newborn journey. She also made space to help us process and talk about things like our birth story, postpartum anxiety, and really anything else on our minds… which was a lot. We appreciate the calm and loving connection and support for our whole family.

I'm Lauren, a birth doula and photographer based in Milwaukie, Oregon, just outside of Portland. I grew up in Delaware, but have lived on the West Coast since 2017. I am a mom to one child, two dogs, and a cat. I love reading, getting outside, and exploring new cities. I love trying out new hobbies: currently, I'm learning how to crochet! I trained through Doula Love Portland's DONA International and OHA Approved program. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and evidence-based. I honor all paths to parenthood and believe that every person deserves compassionate, culturally responsive care during their most vulnerable moments. I believe birth is not just a beginning. It is a continuation of a lineage - of wisdom, of strength, of becoming. I am here to hold space for you to make your own choices while feeling supported, safe, and seen.

As a first time mom, I was searching for someone who could be an advocate for my husband and I. Someone who could guide us through the birthing process and the many decisions that came with it in a moment of high emotion. Lauren was the calming and sound voice of reason and compassion that we needed. In the prenatal period she patiently answered all my questions, and even sent me literature on things we discussed for further research. Together, we built my ideal birth plan, and she created an easy to follow worksheet that I could reference and bring with me to the hospital. When the time finally came, and the birth plan completely derailed, Lauren remained calm and was there every step of the way. During an extremely long and exhausting labor process, Lauren was there providing support through suggestions, positioning, counter pressure, etc. And with every change in the birth plan and decision that came along the way, Lauren helped us understand our options and gave me peace of mind that every decision made was founded in fact and not emotion. From an emotional standpoint, Lauren also kept reminding me that I was one step closer to meeting my baby. This also helped calm my anxious mind as things progressed. After an unexpected C-section, we finally held our baby, and though things did not go as planned, we took solace in knowing that we made the best choices for our family. I cannot thank Lauren enough for the support she provided, and can't imagine how my husband and I would have dealt with the situation without her. If you are a first time mom, or even a second or third, I highly recommend her and her doula services!
