How much does a prenatal visit cost?

Prenatal and postpartum care are donation based services. Whatever amount you'd like to donate is welcomed and appreciated.

Do you attend twin births?

How does the sliding scale process work?

In order to be considered for birth services you must first schedule a visit in office. We will discuss your health history and current pregnancy to determine if you are low-risk and a good candidate for out of hospital birth as well as answer any questions. After that appointment you may apply for birth services within the client portal.

How much do the birth services cost?

We utilize a sliding scale for birth services. The sliding scale ranges from $1800 - $2800 and includes the midwife, birth assistant(s), apprentice midwives, an in-home 2 day postpartum visit and more. Additional details are included in the Financial Agreement.

What if I want to birth in the hospital?

We support you no matter where you birth! Many clients see us for prenatal and postpartum care and birth in the hospital. We're here to help you no matter where you choose to birth!

Who will be at my birth?

Our birth team consists of one midwife (if only one baby) and two apprentice midwives at every birth. If you are having twins there is an additional fee for an additional midwife. For The People follows an apprentice midwife model that allows apprentices to provide care under the direct supervision of a licensed midwife.

How do I interview a midwife?

We do not offer interviews at For The People. Your first visit is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you’d like as well as see the office and get a feel for what your care will look like with our team.
