The Daily Mail reported that Meghan was considering having a home birth with the help of a midwife, although a hospital birth hadn't been ruled out. Some London women are spending $2,618 (£2,000) to $6,546 (£5,000) on an independent midwife during and after labor, according to Jasmine Gardner of the Evening Standard.
Meghan reportedly planned to use the hypnobirthing technique, a form of hypnotherapy that focuses on mindfulness, during labor, according to Lester, who said Meghan hired a doula, which can cost more than for $1,701 (£1,300) for 10 one-hour sessions.
