As someone who has a kid people tend to exaggerate how much everything cost you should have insurance of some kind if you don’t then literally anything that happens in a hospital is expensive

I found out I was pregnant in March of this year. I worked at the hospital with the insurance they gave me. My OB was "out of network" and it was going to be 50k to just have the baby, let alone me

The one birth I know's cost was around early 2000s, a preterm (no complications) and cost 17,000. With inflation, I shudder to think how bad it is

They wanted to charge me $250,000 for an emergency c-section and a five day hospital stay. Thank God we had good insurance so it went down to $10K but imagine if we didn’t!!!

Do you know why so many poor families are on government assistance? Because they can’t afford to live and take care of their kids without it.
