Anyone else expecting a surprise baby and stressing about finances?

Question

Little babe was a BIG surprise. Very in love already, but this is my first baby and I'm finding it hard to predict costs of medical care, etc. My partner and I are pretty young, we'll be 23 when babe arrives.

I'm ecstatically terrified and wondering if anyone else is in the same boat!

Answer

Yes, this is a surprise.

I just got pink slipped and I am awaiting the news on if I get my job back (teacher). This baby is a super secret until I know for sure. 
Chances are: I'm fine. But I am still preparing for the worst.

Last time around we had PPO insurance and our 20% for the hospital was 7,000 ( I was there from Saturday 6am-Monday 11am) ... Then the OB was 1,000 and for the epidural it was 200 something. Circumcision was 200... 
This was six years ago... Im sure costs have gone up, but now we have an HMO and I believe I am almost 100% covered... I just need to keep my job and thus my insurance 😉😋
