  My homebirth CNM cost $5000 plus the purchase of a birth kit (around $60).  It included all prenatal visits (weeks, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 34, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, IIRC), the birth (including the tub), and postpartum care (visit at 24 hr, 3 day

  I live in rural East Texas, so my costs are going to be a LOT cheaper than yours. My midwife charges $2500 for a home birth. This includes all prenatal visits and basic testing (CBC, GD screening, and GBS testing). Any other tests or ultrasounds are extra

  3500. That covered my prenatal appointments, delivery, the pool, and post partum care. I think I paid an extra 250 for homebirth supplies.

  Edit: I''m in the Chicago suburbs if that helps.

  Ours was $4700 for all prenatal care, delivery, and post-natal care- we live in Los Angeles, which is also one of the most expensive regions in the US. They gave us $50 off for paying in cash/checks only (no cards) and $50 off for each visit you've had

  I am in Florida (Tampa area) and my homebirth CNM charges $6000 for all prenatal, delivery and postpartum visits, including the cost of her birth assistant. If you pay in full by your second appointment, she reduces the fee to $5200, which is what we did,

  I just asked a friend who lives in Queens and she paid about $6500 total for prenatal, labor, delivery, and postpartum care.  She also bought her own tub (the midwife could provide one but she thought the idea of a used tub was gross), and also paid

  I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
