The cost of a midwife in Royal Oak, MI 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

    Michigan Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care for Royal Oak members, including prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum services, as required under federal Medicaid rules. Payment for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth centers depends on the Medicaid plan and does not apply to every member. The local market is very limited, with one midwife listed within 60 miles of Royal Oak. For private insurance, review your policy’s midwifery benefits and network requirements.

  • 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 Royal Oak, MI, 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.

As a dedicated mother of four, I bring my passion for birth, breastfeeding, and maternal mental health to my work as a doula.

I am certified in Infant/Child and Adult CPR/AED, ensuring safety in all situations. My additional certifications issued from the State of Michigan include Breastfeeding Basics for Peer Counselors, Infant Safe Sleep for Professionals Working with Families, Prevention of Early Elective Delivery, and Alcohol Free Baby & Me. My mission is to empower and support families, helping them navigate the challenges and joys of childbirth and early parenting with confidence and care.

Recent review

I recently had the pleasure of working with an exceptional doula for the birth of my twin boys, and I can't recommend her enough. From our first meeting, it was evident that she was highly educated and knowledgeable about childbirth, which immediately put me at ease. Throughout my pregnancy and labor/delivery, she provided unwavering support, offering valuable advice and comfort. Her presence during labor was incredibly reassuring. My doula played a crucial role in helping me achieve the natural birth I desired. If you're looking for a doula who is compassionate, skilled, and committed to your birth experience, look no further. Worth every penny trust me!

I’m Cameasha. I support moms to take control of their pregnancy and birth to amplify their voice, feel confident in your plan and empowered in your journey. I am a Mom of 4 small ones.The youngest is 17 months. I became a doula so moms would not feel unseen, unheard, or alone. The expectations placed on moms is both flattering and irrational. So sometimes we are not heard. I am here to help you advocate for yourself and truly be heard and informed during your pregnancy and birth journey. Birth and pregnancy is an amazing thing but it can also be stressful without the right support and information to hold space and do exactly what you WANT. Not be gaslit or coerced into something you don't. Having an advocate that is there for YOU to support you. I started Strength of A Mommy to emphasize how moms are strong mentally, physically, and emotionally but we are not always superwoman, we are human. I wanted to also support moms to focus on their Mental and Physical Fitness prioritizing their health. I believe in and focus on a whole person approach. Starting with mental fitness, physical fitness and emotional fitness. I have a Master’s in Forensic Psychology focusing on behavior, I am also a certified Personal trainer credentialed in nutrition, prenatal fitness and prenatal yoga to be able to offer mental, emotional, and physical well being for the mommies I serve. I wanted to serve moms from the start supporting you to build your voice feeling empowered/strong from the beginning. I began my journey of Doula carw because of my pregnancy and birth experiences. They were good, bad, wonderful, and ugly. It was joyful and stressful all in one. In those moments where I felt low, fear, and defeated… it would have been amazing to have support and advocacy. So breathe mommy, I understand and I am here for you. My goal is to help as many moms as possible to never feel unsupported, overwhelmed, stuck, or alone. That feeling sucked. You are a mommy, but you are so much more and I am ready to support you how you need it.
