FAQs about giving birth in Detroit, Michigan

How to choose where to give birth

Some important factors to consider when choosing where to give birth are your pregnancy risk level, environmental preferences, and where your OB/GYN or midwife has admitting privileges. 

Birth centers offer different benefits to pregnant and laboring patients, particularly to those with low-risk pregnancies. Some hospitals also have birthing centers adjacent to their traditional labor and delivery units, so you can access more advanced care if needed while still enjoying the comforts of a more home-like environment.

What is the average cost of giving birth in Michigan?

The cost of giving birth varies depending on factors like your insurance situation, whether your birthing facility is in-network or out-of-network, and the level of care and procedures that go into your delivery. Vaginal births are generally less expensive than C-sections due to the typical need for a longer hospital stay following surgery. Per data from World Population Review on in-network births in Michigan, vaginal delivery costs an average $10,778, and in-network C-sections cost an average of $12,546. At an out-of network facility, costs increase to average around $23,000 for a vaginal birth and $30,000 for a C-section delivery.

How do I find the right NICU near me?

NICU stands for Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a part of the hospital that specializes in providing care to premature babies and newborns with health issues. A NICU is staffed with neonatologists and specialized nurses and provides 24/7 care, often with specialized equipment to support breathing, nutrition, heart function and other vital signs.

There are four classifications of NICU ranging from I-IV, defined by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Level III and Level IV NICUs offer the most robust and complex care. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, consult with your physician on the right level of care for your specific situation.
