Question for Mommies - Birth Cost
If you don't mind me asking, what was the total cost of giving birth for you? Also, did you get an epidural? I don't "plan" on getting one, so I just want to know if your cost includes that.
I am assuming all or most of you are insured. I am still under my dad's insurance for the time being, and will probably wait until after baby to switch over to my husband's. It's a pretty good plan, everything is mostly covered 80/20. I'm just trying to get an estimate so I'm not completely shocked with a bill, and I'm having a hard time getting a hold of the insurance company to ask them...

Won't you have to wait until open enrollment to switch plans?

I think my total bill for me and DD was around $18-19k just for labor and delivery - vaginal delivery, no complications, with epi. My portion was around $1000. This does not include anything toward my visits with my OB during pregnancy.
We paid absolutely nothing. Nothing for pre-natal care appts. either, not even a co-pay. Had DD been a boy we would have had to pay a portion if we decided on a circumcision and that is it. I had a med-free vaginal delivery and was on

If you were in my shoes, you'd fall the first step."
Thank you all! I was finally able to get a hold of someone at my current insurance company and they said my deductible has already been met so my total OOP will be no more than $2250, but since I've already paid towards that, it's currently only $1200

for us it all went towards the deductible but what the policy doesn't cite is that there is a flat fee to use the facility (and UPMC looooves to charge you to utilize their facilities, that's why you generally get two bills-one for the dr's fees and on
