cost?

Can anyone tell me the average amount of having a normal vaginal delivery in a hospital?

[AlloraTristan]

That's with insurance^^ it's about $10-20,000 for vaginal dependin on complications needs... And 20-40,000 for a C-section depending on complications and needs I'm in central Tx CTMC

That is insane, in Canada I had a csection, was in the hospital for 4 days and the only thing I paid for was my 14 dollar constipation meds.

For a c section I'm only getting charged 2500. I'm in Texas

That is so much more than i expected

[zareenawifey]

Oh my goodness! That is so expensive. Here in new zealand all medical care is absolutely free.  It seems unethical to charge someone to give birth!

My first baby was born in a hospital 3 years ago. It was a vaginal delivery with no complications, we went home the next morning and it was $12K. I did have an epidural and that was like $2,500 and they charged me $600 for walking through the emergency room door because it was 2am. So annoying. That is not including prenatal care and we denied a lot of stuff for my son (such as circumcision) so I don't know how much all that costs. Maybe the hospital could give you an estimate?

5,000-10,000 dollars

There are some articles on Google that might help you save by doing things like bringing your own food and drink and diapers and such.

Last I checked it ranged from 8,000 to 17,000. But that depends on location and if you require anesthesia.

Depends on your location and if you have insurance or not.
