The cost of a midwife in National City, CA 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

    California Medicaid covers prenatal, birth, and postpartum services provided by certified nurse-midwives, as federal Medicaid rules require this benefit nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries depends on the member’s plan. National City has a modest local market, with eight midwives listed within 60 miles. Private insurance benefits also vary, so confirm provider network and cost-sharing details with your 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 National City, CA, 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 am a trained birth and postpartum doula, and have worked with families in Los Angeles and San Diego over the last 6 years providing meal services, Bengkung belly binding, birth and postpartum services. As a trained health coach, I am passionate about holistic wellness, and incorporate this knowledge into my practice to support the best health for mother’s and babies during the perinatal period.

We were so lucky to work with Carissa for 6 months during our daughter’s infancy (Dec 2021 - May 2022). Carissa provided infant care for our daughter, including support with feeding, daytime sleep, diapering, and time outside. She also provided extensive support through healthy and nourishing meal preparation - both for myself and my partner during our extended postpartum period, as well as for our daughter when she transitioned to incorporating solid foods. In addition, Carissa kept our household calm, functioning, and well-managed by providing light housekeeping and support (e.g., dishes, infant laundry). Carissa is warm and kind in all that she does - we always welcomed and felt comfortable with her in our home. And our (challenging and very particular!) daughter loved her from day one - they shared a close and special bond until our move out of state. For folks preparing for or in the midst of a postpartum experience, do yourself a favor and hire Carissa! She made our transitional time into parents so much brighter and better cared for.

My journey to becoming a mother was not easy. I had two very different and difficult births that taught me a lot about myself and the challenges of childbirth. My first birth was a long and exhausting labor that ended in an emergency cesarean. I felt scared, helpless, and disappointed that I couldn’t have the natural birth I wanted. My second birth was a planned cesarian, I felt unprepared, anxious, and overwhelmed by the intensity of the experience and felt guilty for not trying to deliver naturally. Both of my births left me feeling traumatized and in need of healing. ​ These experiences made me realize that there is a gap in the traditional healthcare system when it comes to supporting mothers during birth. I felt that I didn’t get enough information, education, or emotional support from my providers, and that I had to advocate for myself and my baby. I decided to become a doula to fill that gap and to help other mothers have a better birth experience. As a doula, I offer personalized and continuous support to mothers before, during, and after birth. I help them prepare for their birth, cope with their pain, communicate with their providers, and celebrate their achievements. I want every mother to feel empowered, respected, and joyful during their birth.

Doula Laci is an amazing doula for all birthing people regardless of birth plan! Many other doulas I’ve met have pushed an exclusively “natural” birth plan but that doesn’t work for all bodies or families. Laci is amazing, understanding of multiple birth experiences and needs, and a deeply empathetic individual. You couldn’t find a better doula for your birth.

Hi! My name is Julianna, and I am a birth + postpartum doula and reproductive health educator based in San Diego, California. I am deeply passionate about supporting people through their fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and transition into parenthood with care that is informed, grounded, and non-judgmental. My approach blends evidence-based education with intuitive, hands-on support, honoring both the physiological process of birth and the emotional experience that comes with it. I believe that when parents feel informed, respected, and supported in their choices, birth and postpartum can feel more empowering and less overwhelming. I strive to create a calm, affirming space where clients feel safe to ask questions, explore options, and trust their bodies. In addition to doula care, my background in fertility awareness and reproductive health education shapes how I support clients holistically—from conception and pregnancy through postpartum recovery. In my free time, I love being outdoors, moving my body, and grounding myself in simple routines that nourish both body and mind.

From the very beginning, she was knowledgeable, kind, and deeply reassuring. Giving birth during COVID came with so much uncertainty, but her calm presence and steady guidance helped us navigate every step with confidence. When we had to pivot from our original birth plan, she kept us grounded and supported, ensuring we still felt empowered in the process. What truly sets her apart is that her care didn’t end at delivery. She has continued to check in with our family over the years, which speaks volumes about the level of care she provides. My husband and I highly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is both skilled and genuinely invested in the families she serves.
