The cost of a midwife in Quincy, IL 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

    Illinois Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care for prenatal services, birth, and postpartum support because this is a required Medicaid benefit nationwide. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries varies by plan and does not apply to every Illinois member. No midwives are listed within 60 miles of Quincy, so accessing local care may require travel. Private insurance coverage varies by policy and should be confirmed 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 Quincy, IL, 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.

Hello there and congratulations! I am a homeschooling mama to four girls and a lover of all things birth. I believe that birth is a natural process and I love helping empower couples as they welcome their babies into the world. I’ve been teaching natural childbirth classes for 12 years, attending births as a doula for 7 years, and am now studying to become a homebirth midwife. If you want someone who is going to be a positive, uplifting voice throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I’d love to be that for you.

Jackie has been such an answered prayer for me and my family. I heard about her through mutual friends, reached out, and quickly met with her to go over my birth history, trauma, and hopes for my VBAC. I wanted an unmedicated VBAC, and with her support, I got that experience in the end. She listened deeply, cared sincerely, and that was evident throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She is steady and helped me stay grounded. She never made anything feel like an emergency unless it truly was. Anytime I needed support, information, encouragement, or help making decisions, she was there immediately with wisdom, resources, and alternatives. I also took her birth classes and learned so much that helped me stay confident and informed throughout my pregnancy. I especially loved how she shared her own birth experiences in such an authentic and encouraging way. During the final weeks before labor, I leaned on her DAILY for encouragement and support. She reminded me that my body wasn’t broken after my first birth and helped me learn to trust it again. During labor, she held my hand through contractions, encouraged me constantly, and helped me stay calm and focused. Postpartum, she continued showing up by bringing food, holding my baby, and answering questions during those early weeks. One of the things I appreciated most was sharing faith in Christ throughout the experience. Having a doula who carried herself with such peace, encouragement, and genuine faith was incredibly comforting and meaningful to me. She is authentic, compassionate, and truly loves what she does. I’m forever grateful for her support and will absolutely continue recommending her to everyone I know. I hope she helps me birth all the rest of my babies too!

Hi! I'm Natasha, a mother of 2 daughters and a birth doula serving the St. Louis, Missouri area and the Metro East area in Southern Illinois since 2021. I like to have a holistic approach to the pregnancy and birth experience. I like to focus on nutrition and positioning techniques during pregnancy to help minimize end-of-pregnancy concerns and labor challenges. I started my doula journey shortly after my first born because I wanted to help other families to know that they do have a voice that matters. Having a cesarean myself, then a HBAC, I have a unique perspective on the difference of each of those experiences. I learned the importance of having the proper support, the right to informed choice and the resources to have a positive pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. That is what I hope I can provide to my community.

Natasha rocks! What a Godsend!! She was so incredible to work with, and I really can't recommend her enough. From the beginning, she was super respectful about our desires for birth. And she was always easy to get a hold of with any questions I had. Her prenatal visits really helped us prepare for the mental and physical aspects of birth. She gave us so much good information, even for postpartum. Natasha was great tor showing my husband how to support me too! When labor started, Natasha was so loving and helpful with all my first-time momma nerves. She met me at my house during early labor and followed us to the hospital when I was ready. Before I could be admitted, the hospital required me to consent to a cervical check. I did, but the check was not done well and I refused getting another. The doctor kept pressing me to do another while I was bawling in pain, working through hard contractions every minute by that time. Natasha very respectfully and tactfully stood up for me, and I'll never forget that. As I was admitted and continued to labor, Natasha supported me so well. I seriously couldn't have asked for a more amazing doula. The whole time, I felt as though she genuinely cared for us and supported our goals for birth. I'm so glad she was by my side!

Growing up as the middle child of six the topic of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding was never something I had to wonder about. I watched my mother grow my younger siblings and got to witness the incredible bond she had with them as she breastfed them. I always knew I wanted to be surrounded by the birth space whether it be my own or someone else’s. Twenty-something years later…here I am! Welcome to my corner of the internet- I’m Kyra. I’m a wife, mother of two beautiful girls and birth obsessed! In Kindergarten, my teacher assigned our class an art project that I would remember forever- to draw a picture of what we wanted to be when we grew up. The other kids drew pictures of firefighters, teachers, doctors and police officers. I drew a picture of myself in a wedding dress! I knew that I wanted to get married and have babies and take care of my own home. I wanted to be my mom! Not long before I got married I found the picture I drew and wished I could have told little six-year-old me that I would get to be exactly what I wanted. After being told I would probably never be able to conceive and carry my own babies I fell pregnant. I was able to grow and birth that baby, I felt so blessed! Fast forward another nine months and I’m pregnant again- an even bigger surprise. I was able to grow and carry and birth that baby too. I was fortunate enough to have two very healthy pregnancies and was able to have unmedicated water births in a freestanding birth center. After my first birth, I decided to stop making excuses and pursue something I’m passionate about. That brought me here to you. It’s such a privilege that I get to be a role-model for my daughters in this way. I get to raise them knowing that birth is normal and isn’t something to be feared. I get the privilege of supporting the strongest women as they grow and birth their babies. I am so grateful to do this work. Thanks for being here.

Kyra was our doula for pregnancy and birth. She provided us with so much knowledge and care! She stepped in for birth classes, answered all questions I had, and made me feel confident to birth my baby. She stayed by my side the entire duration of my very very long labor and was so supportive!

Hi, I'm Alysha! I am a Certified Birth Doula serving the St. Louis area. ​ I believe that every woman should feel empowered to have the birth experience she desires while staying safe and healthy. ​ Having attended both medicated and unmedicated births, I know there is beauty in every kind of birth, and I consider it an honor to be present for each and every one! ​ I am certified through DONA International. I have also received training from Spinning Babies, Evidence-Based Birth, the VBAC Link, and Gena Kirby's Rebozo Course. ​ If you choose me as your doula, you can be assured you will have a knowledgeable support person with you, not only at your birth, but throughout your entire pregnancy!

If you’re on the fence about whether or not you should hire Alysha, climb over that fence! She was absolutely monumental during the birth of our daughter. This was our first baby, and Alysha guided us literally step by step, starting weeks before birth with preparation, exercises, stretches, and affirmations. She was also on call for us the entire week leading up to delivery and, of course, was right there with us in the room (and shower!) when it was finally go time. Our birth plan unexpectedly shifted to an induction, and Alysha was incredible at helping my husband and me understand our options and navigate each decision along the way. During labor, she provided constant physical and emotional support, coaching us through every contraction. She helped us stay calm, confident, and focused, and played a huge role in helping us achieve the unmedicated birth we had hoped for. I’ll admit that my husband was initially on the fence about having a doula, too. After our experience, we both agree that we cannot imagine going through birth without Alysha. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, compassionate, and such a steady presence throughout the entire process and helped give him just as much confidence and reassurance too. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family and would recommend Alysha to anyone preparing for birth!
