I can't believe this - but I had a natural childbirth - no IV, no pain relievers, was only in the hospital for 3 hours before she was born and a minimum hospital stay and guess how much the hospital bill was to deliver DD -
$18,000!!!
That's insane. absolutely insane.
I could have flown to europe and delivered her by private doctor in a freaking CASTLE for that much money.
Thank God for insurance - that's all I can say.
Re: The ridiculous price of delivering a baby
My bills (C-section and 3 night stay) are over $12,000 right now....and still coming!
Thankfully I have fantastic insurance!

I got ripped off then. I paid $360 for three nights in a private room...but my insurance covered it
eeeep makes me feel blessed that I had an uncomplicated pregnancy and a homebirth (without having to go to the hospital, which I know could have been a possibility and would have if I needed to).
$2300 for all of my prenatals, delivery and postnatals + 75 for the tub rental and $20 for other supplies for the homebirth
