Services & Fees

Full homebirth care involves all prenatal visits, labor, birth, the newborn exam, and all postpartum visits. Monthly prenatal visits are offered through the second trimester, bi-weekly from 26-36 weeks, then weekly until birth, including one home visit at approximately 37 weeks.   Prenatal visits are leisurely and fun with lots of time for you to have your questions answered thoroughly and to fellowship with your family to develop a relationship with understanding of your needs.  Well-behaved children and nursing babies are always welcome; large families are embraced and may stay with you during your prenatal or enjoy the play room or the large fenced backyard (supervision by an adult or responsible teen is required).  A thorough, unhurried newborn exam is performed postpartum, a 24-hour phone visit and 3 day postpartum visit, with another postpartum check at 7 days if necessary.    

The full fee is $2,500.00 with a $500 cash discount due by 36 weeks, plus $200 early-pay discount (if paid in full by 28 weeks); catered payment plans and some insurance reimbursment may be available (check with your insurance company regarding restrictions in your policy).  Fees do not include lab work or sonogram, physician and/or certified nurse-midwife consultation, outside medical care, your birth kit or birth tub rental.  Northeast Kansas Homebirth Service does have three inflatable birth pools that may be used for waterbirth that are included in the fee.
