With my insurance coverage it works out to be about the same, or cheaper, than my hospital birth but with a lot more choice and postpartum care. <br />Some things are not covered under your medical insurance, like the birth kit that your midwife will have you order, but you may be able to use HSA funds. <br />Doulas are typically not covered. With my first homebirth the doula was provided as part of my midwife fee. This time I am using a student doula who needs to attend births to complete her certification. There are lots of ways to make this more affordable! <br />Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-232664651858738176.post-24062905881232043372017-06-16T23:11:24.908-05:002017-06-16T23:11:24.908-05:00Hi Kirby!

I just need to pray for my family and husband to have peace that it would be safe. Dreamwriter129https://www.blogger.com/profile/03713953224674866138noreply@blogger.com
