The cost of a midwife in St. Charles, MO 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

    Missouri Medicaid covers certified nurse-midwife care for members in St. Charles. This nationwide required benefit includes CNM-attended prenatal, birth, and postpartum services. Coverage for licensed or certified professional midwives at home or birth centers varies by plan and is not assured for every Missouri Medicaid member; local options are also very limited, with one midwife listed within 60 miles. For private insurance, check the plan’s midwifery benefits and network rules.

  • 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 St. Charles, MO, it's advisable to research and interview several midwives to find one who aligns with your birth plan, preferences, and budget.

Hello! My name is Sarah and I have been a doula for 15 years. I specialize in supporting in hospital birth with a special focus in trauma informed care, pregnancy after loss or infertility, and high risk factors. I offer preconception through postpartum services including doula support, childbirth education, babywearing, biologically normal infant sleep support, newborn care classes, lactation support, and more. I am a mother of four and a Southern Baptist by faith. I am passionate about serving all families regardless of background, and believe every mother, baby, and family deserves to be held with tender care and loving support.

Hiring the right Doula was an incredibly important and necessary part of my birth story. I was terrified to give birth due to past trauma and fear of the unknown. I needed someone by my side to teach me what to expect and to be my advocate. Sarah fully prepared me for the expected and unexpected. She was my advocate, cheerleader, and friend through the entire process. I felt prepared and was able to be fully present for the birth of my son. I felt, and feel, she really cares for me. Sarah continues to check on me (4 months PP). I don't think this is a job for her, but a calling for those who need her. Hiring Sarah was the best decision I could have made. If an informed and beautiful experience is what you desire, consider Sarah.

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!

Alysha was so amazing during the birth of our son! She truly made all the difference in the moments where things got tough during labor and delivery. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is considering a doula. She knows what to do in the heat of the moment and can be a great assistance for your support person as well. She ensures that medical staff are reminded of your birth plan elections, which I found to be especially helpful when I was unable to advocate for myself in the middle of labor. While labor and delivery are very unpredictable, Alysha will do everything she can to prepare you for the big day and give you confidence going in that will allow you to come out on the other side with an unforgettable and positive birth experience.

After watching all of the beautiful and peaceful homebirths I was very disappointed that I was advised to go to the hospital due to my son being measured too small during my third trimester. After spending a night there I got very nervous and anxious and didn't quite know how it was all going to work out, as I was hell-bent on wanting a natural birth without being pushed by the Gynaecologist to induce my contractions. And in walks the lovely Chelsea...a clinical doula, something I knew existed (a doula) just not provided as a service in the hospital! Chelsea and I instantly connected and with her soft and sweet voice she helped me with breathing exercises, taking my mind away from the intense extractions. She even brought her own natural coconut oil with which she massaged all the areas that hurt or simply needed the pressure. She also spoke with the Gynaecologist and reassured my contractions we're coming every 10/5 minutes or so, which gave us the opportunity to initiate my labour naturally. I heard lots of horrible birth stories, especially those in hospitals, but I can honestly say I had an absolute wonderful birth thanks to Chelsea. Truly a gift from above to may have had you there with me. Both my partner and mother still ask about her and would love to see her again. We are eternally grateful for her and wish her all the best!
