If you are in the U.S. - it varies in different areas, different hospitals. It will be cheaper in a low income area or state hospital. There are at least three different people you'll be paying. The hospital for the room and for the services provided while she's there. The doctor for the prenatal care and delivery. The anesthesiologist for the anesthesia.
1. Hospital Stay: You'll have to call the hospital and ask.
2. Doctor: Then call the OB/GYN or midwife (whoever is delivering) and ask them how much.
3. Anesthesiogist: Then call a staff anesthesiogist at the hospital (if she's getting an epidural).
Then add on about 20% to the hospital bill for random crap they add onto your bill because they think you'll never look at. Then add on lab fees, ultrasound fees, any prescriptions.

Our insurance has a site where we can go and see how much they were charged for our care. I had a baby in January. The charges for the hospital stay, the OB/GYN and our daughter's pediatrician to visit added up to $12,156. This is for a healthy newborn and a three day stay (well, two and a half really since our daughter was born in the late afternoon).
Our cost for the whole thing with insurance? Absolutely nothing for the hospital stay since I was admitted. And a whopping $5 for the OB (including all visits, tests, everything).

Ask, beg, bribe, do whatever it takes to have your dr. induce you.... it costs tens of thousands of dollars for an uncomplicated natural vaginal delivery... over 20,000 if I remember correctly (with an epidural, which does add to the costs because of the anesthesiologist). My son is 3 months, and just our insurance copays were close to 1,000.

The hospital billed us for approximately $9,000. We paid $3,200 after a $2000 deductible.
If you don't have insurance, supposedly you can "negotiate" rates with the hospital & doctors. Although, I'm not sure how you'd go about it...

Everything for my first baby (room and board, anesthesia [my epidural], my ob/gyn's fee, my son's circumcision) totalled about $16,000.00. Thank God for good insurance, that's all I have to say!
With my second son, he was born via c-section, and ended up staying in the hospital in the NICU for a few days, and his total fees were almost $20,000.00.

Better ask a hospital, because the prices vary from one place to another. It costs more if it's a boy and you have him circumcised there.

I saw what my insurance paid out.
The hospital stay which was 2 1/2 days: $9,700.00
The delivery charge: $3,200.00 (we're talking 20 minutes here)
A circumcision: $120.00
My deductible: $500
I didn't have any drugs... so I'm sure that would have been extra.
I think if you pay out of pocket, it might be less. You know how doctors and hospitals over inflate bills.

I live in CANADA
It costs you 0$ to have a baby here. The only thing you have to pay for is the room if you want a semi, or private room,
I had a semi-private room and was in the hosp. for 4 days and it cost me about $175.00
