Advice, If You Want To Get Pregnant

For anyone considering becoming pregnant, the best piece of advice I can give you is to make sure that you have good insurance.

The hospital sent us some statements letting us know what it was billing my insurance company. Our total cost to have Elise would have come to over $17,000-- instead, we're paying $250. I wonder how much more it would have cost if I'd had an epidural. Or a c-section.

  1. It cost us a little over $10,000 (that includes the epidural).

  3. You are lucky. We have to pay the first $2400 plus 20% of ultrasounds and labs for this pregnancy. And that's with health insurance that costs $500/person/month. We will, however, get a $450 discount because we work for the hospital where I will deliver.
