The cost of a midwife in Shreveport, LA 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

    Louisiana Medicaid covers care provided by certified nurse-midwives, including prenatal visits, birth attendance, and postpartum care. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth-center deliveries depends on the plan and does not apply to every Louisiana member. No midwives are listed within 60 miles of Shreveport, so patients may need to search farther away. Private insurance benefits vary, so confirm coverage directly 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 Shreveport, LA, 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 Stephanie, the heart behind Cedar & Honey Birth Co. I’m a birth doula and licensed massage therapist with over a decade of experience supporting moms through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season. My approach to birth is calm, steady, and deeply supportive. I believe every mom deserves to feel informed, respected, and well cared for — physically, emotionally, and spiritually — throughout her journey. I offer hands-on comfort measures, evidence-based education, advocacy in hospital settings, and continuous presence so you feel supported and confident during birth. With a background in medical and therapeutic massage, I bring advanced bodywork skills into labor support — helping with comfort, relaxation, positioning, and nervous system regulation. I’m trauma-informed, intuitive, and experienced working alongside healthcare professionals, allowing me to support you confidently whether your birth follows your hopes or takes an unexpected turn. Faith is an important part of who I am, and I naturally integrate prayer, encouragement, and spiritual support into my care. This is woven into the way I serve moms and families, with gentleness, reverence, and trust in God’s presence throughout birth. My heart is to create a peaceful, reassuring space where you feel prepared, supported, and confident as you welcome your baby. It would be an honor to walk this journey with you.

Hi, I’m Nicole! I was born in Houston but raised in Chireno, a small East Texas town just outside of Nacogdoches, and this area has always been home to me. For the past eight years, I’ve owned and managed a cosmetic store in downtown Nacogdoches, and before that, I worked as a CNA for three years. As well as a substitute teacher at a preschool for a year. Looking back, caring for and connecting with people has always been at the heart of what I do. My love for birth work really began after supporting my best friend during her birth in 2024, but watching my sister give birth alongside her doula in March 2026 truly confirmed that this was where my heart belonged. That experience inspired me to start The Nurtured Nest, where I provide birth and postpartum doula support to families in East Texas. My goal is simply to help families feel calm, informed, heard, and genuinely cared for during such an important season of their lives. I’m so excited to continue growing in birth work, serving families in my community, and seeing where this journey takes me!

I’m so grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout my birth experience. She helped me feel prepared and confident going into my C-section, and her post-birth advice was incredibly helpful. Her knowledge, reassurance, and genuine care made such a difference during such an important time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and supportive doula!

Hi, I’m Mallory the heart behind The Crunchy-ish Doula. I’ve been married to my husband for nine years, and together we’re raising three beautiful children: a curious 7 year old, a spirited 4 year old, and our sweet 2 year old. Motherhood has been one of my greatest teachers, and every birth story I carry my own and the ones I’m honored to witness has shaped the way I serve families. I welcomed my first child in a hospital setting. While I’m grateful for that experience, it also opened my eyes to how unprepared and disconnected many women can feel during birth. After that birth, and through the heartache of several miscarriages, I spent a lot of time praying asking the Lord to show me my purpose and how He wanted to use my story. In His perfect timing, God answered a lifelong prayer. After the home birth of my second son, everything became clear. I experienced firsthand the power of education, support, and trust in the body God designed. That birth changed me and in 2021, I became a doula. My calling is to walk alongside families with open hands and a steady presence, honoring both faith and informed decision making. I believe God created our bodies with intention and wisdom, and I also believe there are moments when medical intervention is necessary and life saving. My role is never to push an agenda, but to help you prepare, discern, and advocate with confidence and peace no matter where or how you give birth. Birth is sacred. Mothers are strong. And no family should feel alone in this season. It would be an honor to support you.

I am the doula behind Noble + Grace Hollow. I am a graduate of Lee University with a degree in Psychology and certified through Birthworker Academy. A wife and mother of two, I am experienced with birth in the hospital setting and also in a homebirth setting. My diverse childbirth experiences allow me to assist you in achieving the birth you always dreamed of and I focus my energy on providing mothers with the support necessary to make the transition into motherhood with strength. My passion for birth began in 2015 and has now flourished into a business that I pour my soul into to serve my clients. Some fun facts about me: - I am an aspiring homesteader and current backyard chicken farmer - Love being outdoors and fitness - Can never answer those quizzes that ask either sweet tea or coffee because I love both

Bekah was my Prenatal/Birthing Class Instructor. She also was my doula throughout my 2 day labor and outstanding support throughout my VBAC. Bekah's ability to educate and talk you through decision making is top notch. She is a great communicator, and available when she says she will be. Bekah has a true gift for helping women empower themselves through childbirth. I firmly believe I would not have had the birth experience I wanted without her by my side. My husband, Bradley, agrees. I hope to be able to have her support throughout the future! Proud to call her my doula and my friend.

I’ve always been drawn to birth and babies—what started as childhood curiosity grew into a calling after the birth of my first child. In 2020, I became a certified birth doula, and today I serve families across the Dallas/Fort Worth area with personalized support through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Whether you’re planning a hospital, home, or surrogacy journey, my role is to support your choices and vision—offering practical help, emotional encouragement, and steady, grounded advocacy when it matters most. What makes my care unique is that I’ve experienced birth from multiple sides—I’ve given birth naturally with a midwife and have also served as a surrogate, helping bring a long-awaited baby into the arms of hopeful parents. These experiences give me a deep respect for how personal and sacred birth truly is. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me baking sourdough, doing something hands-on and “crunchy,” or creating alongside my kids—but at the heart of it all, birth work isn’t just what I do, it’s part of who I am.

Katie at Little Lilacs Birth Services was absolutely incredible! From the very beginning of my pregnancy, she was there to guide me through every step, patiently answering my million questions and offering expert advice that always made me feel supported and confident. She helped us revisit and refresh all the birth techniques we had learned before, giving us the tools and reassurance we needed to achieve another unmedicated birth with confidence. During labor and birth, Katie was calm, attentive, and completely present. Her support went beyond just guidance—she anticipated our needs, encouraged us when we felt unsure, and helped create a birth experience that felt empowering and safe. Beyond her professional expertise, Katie has a warmth and kindness that makes her feel like a lifelong friend. She truly cares about the families she works with and goes above and beyond to make the journey from pregnancy to birth as smooth and joyful as possible. I can’t recommend Katie and Little Lilacs Birth Services enough to anyone looking for a doula who combines knowledge, compassion, and genuine friendship.
