What are the costs involved with a homebirth?
The average ‘natural’ hospital birth costs from $5000 to $15,000, depending on where you live and what your doctor thinks s/he is worth. A birth at a birth center can cost $3000 to $10,000, again depending on location and what type of provider you are using. The typical homebirth will cost about $1800, but can range from only $900 to $3500.
