Answer

Answer

I'm currently 34 + 5 days BUT my hospital stay (including delivery) is $250 a day. Our baby girl will be added onto my husband's health insurance and that will cost less then $100 a month. We got a lot of hand me downs from our cousins so we got a crib and changing table from them and three huge containers full of clothes. We also got a lot of stuff from our baby shower and gift cards so we made purchases with it like a diaper genie, bottle warmer, etc. In terms of clothes that we purchased, it's mostly from Ross and Target. The most expensive purchase we've made so far is a stroller (that doubles as a car seat) for $250. Because my parents are retired and they live across the street, they will be watching her when I return to work.

Answer

I had an all natural birth, and only stayed 2 days in the hospital. The hospital bill was around $10,000.00. Not including the prenatal care which my insurance covered. I spent about $50-$80 a month on diapers. I breast fed for a while which saved a lot of money because I didn't need to buy so much formula. When I did start bottle feeding I spent about $80-$100 a month on formula. Didn't need to buy her any clothes until she was 3 because I stocked up and I was given a lot at my baby shower. About $20 a week on baby food. About $20 every 2 weeks for baby wash/ shampoo. Baby wipes I bought in bulk for $20 a box which usually lasted a month. My daughter went through shoes so fast sometimes and I would spend about $40 every few months on shoes. My baby gear was about $1500.00 (stroller, car seats, pack n' play, high chair, and swing) I bought it as a complete set so I got a discount. Her crib and changing table was about $500. My daughter also had surgery in her first year which the insurance covered but I think it was about $5,000.00-$10,000.00.

Answer

Well daycare alone cost me a little over $9,000 his first year. That's about the only thing I can price out. Everything like diapers formula I'm sure wasn't cheap. 
Hospital was covered 100% woth insurance

Answer

Well I was induced early for an IUGR and she had a NICU stay... Just birth and hospital bills was around 200k. We had to pay our deductible which was about 13k. The rest of the year was probably $10k diapers, clothes, food, wipes, gym classes etc.

Answer

I wouldn't even be able to say..  He's well worth it tho..

Answer

Our insurance will cover the whole birth but I did see the bill the other day and it was 20,000 and I was out in 25 hours

Answer

I have no idea but her birth was over 14,000 but my insurance pay everything also her first year probably wasn't super expensive because I stock up a lot while I was pregnant.
