So since my LO wasn't enrolled in medi-cal when he was born I received all his bills today from the hospital. It cost almost 8,000 for his stay and they charged for the nursery which he was only in for 3 hrs while I recovered (they didn't have enough staff for him to be with me in recovery which I wasn't to thrilled about). Not to mention this doesn't count his pediatric check ups while in the hospital or his circumcision.
So I was wondering if you don't mind sharing what was the cost of your LO being born? Vaginal vs csection (I was a csection)? And by area (I'm in Los Angeles county in ca)?

Yeah that shit is expensive. I would have paid it too, but nooooo. Had to go and have a super fast labor. Thanks kid.
The insurance paid a ridiculous amount, though. I'm in Dallas.
I did get a bunch of bills for all the growth ultrasounds I got those last two weeks and they totaled over $5k. The insurance paid out like a quarter of that and I'm not responsible for any of it.
