Question: are water births more expensive?
Answer: If your water birth is done in a hospital, it usually costs same as a vaginal birth if it's covered by insurance. You may be required to rent the tub, which may be an extra $200 to $400. The fees for a midwife or nurse-midwife for a water birth at home will be the same as a normal birth, ranging from $2,000 to $6,000.
