my youngest was born at home. in kentucky, midwifery is not recognized legally anymore. in fact, i believe it's illegal but nobody enforces it. you can't get any insurance help at all.
but our prices were no where near what you're looking at paying. i guess the 'underground' approach means they can't charge as much. if there were more money in it, the state would want their share!
all in all it was an amazing experience for me, and i was just watching and soothing (even got complimented by the midwife for that!). the girls did all the work. my daughter even helped and she wasn't 3 yet.
