2007-02-12 06:07:09 · 8 answers · asked by Anonymous in Pregnancy & Parenting ➔ Pregnancy
Im in Texas...For my doctor it was 4000 dollars, plus any lab tests, etc, that they have to do, and for the hospital is around 10 to 12, 000. I had to stay in the hospital for 3 days for premature labor and that alone cost 8,000 dollars. Insurance is a good idea. Out of that 8000 dollars, I have to pay 900 with my insurance and had to pay the doctor 1100 dollars., but bills I get for the labs. Its very expensive.

If you are already pregnant some insurance might not take you since you have a preexisting condition. I have Kaiser and I paid nothing for prenatal appointments delivery was $100 per night that I spent in the hospital. It could get very pricey if you don't have insurance. I had c-sections with all three of my kids and I was given statements of what it cost after each birth, I would have had to pay $30,000 for delivery and care in the hospital. I would definately start checking to see if you can get insurance now!

4000-4500 , more if you have problems and about 2000 for baby. more for needing extra ultrasounds. figure an extra 3000 fir extra days in hosp, epidural ect. Add another 2000 for labs.If your already pregnant ins will not cover you most likely. That's pre-existing. If your low income they do have state funded medical care ( Medicaid) 11,000-12,000 average, However if you need a C- section you can triple that. Or if something goes wrong.
I have insurance so that's as close as I can get you.

No complications and no epidural. Mine cost 4900 for the birth and 1800 for the baby. I'm not sure what the prenatal visits cost but you will need one or two ultra sounds too. figure around 10,000 with no complications or anesthesia. I live in Illinois.

I don't even know in total but my epidural alone cost almost $3000. I know because the hospital sent me the bill by accident and I flipped out when I saw it. Not that it wasn't worth every penny...

you will prefer to telephone those places and discover out your self. everywhere is different. I stay in Canada so technically....its all loose. I dont pay a cent simply by fact of our heathcare. besides the indisputable fact that the place you reside would be different, the well being middle stay length would be different. %. up the telephone and do somewhat analyze lady.
