Homebirth midwifery is a true labor of love. We must love what we do to be on call and available for you 24/7! However, the blessings involved in caring for women, babies, and families make it all worth it if as a profession we can make an honest living. In furtherance of providing every family with a homebirth opportunity, we feel that fees for this valuable service must be kept competitive yet fair, and most important, realistic. We have watched over the years as the price of homebirth has increased in our community. It was a mere few months ago that our fees were less than what new midwives are now charging. In order to account for our years of experience yet not charge an unreasonable fee, we have had to increase our fee modestly to $5500. We are committed to keeping homebirth affordable and accessible to as many families as possible while still providing the care that you trust and deserve.
Our care package includes routine prenatal visits and labs; birth pool rental; anatomy scan ultrasound order and any orders for medically necessary ultrasounds; 3rd trimester visit to your home; arrival at your home when in active labor; planned attendance at your delivery and immediate postpartum course; non-professional Iphone photos and birth video as circumstances allow and per your consent; 1 day and 1 week postpartum home visits for mama and baby; completion of state-mandated newborn screenings; preparation of birth certificate paperwork; 6 week office or home postpartum visit for mama and baby; access to prescription medication if needed during pregnancy and for 6 weeks postpartum; access to us for questions up to 3 months postpartum; 24/7 text and phone call communication with us directly. There are very minimal costs outside of our package for birth supplies.
For families interested in learning more about our care, we host a meet and greet every other Thursday at Home Holistic, 7927 Floyd St., downtown Overland Park, from 12pm-1pm. Please sign up on the Home Holistic website under classes so that we may contact you in case of cancellation due to a labor. You may also email us at midwifepartners@gmail.com for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!
