Get insurance to conver your expenses for natural child birth

My net friend give me a message. he said that I think I may be pregnant, and I am planning ahead. I am aware that nothing about this will be cheap, but I would like to make the cheapest choices possible at first, since my boyfriend is the only one working at the moment. I am still in high school and under 18. I don’t know if that will make any difference. I have heard about Planned Parenthood, but I have not idea as to what the advantages are. Inform me please?

The friendly of jim give the answer.

Hi there Holly. Unlike some of the other posters, let me give you some factual advise:

Natural birth is a great money saver.

Most insurance makes you pay some type of copay for the birth (except state-assist insurances). Most unmedicated hospital births are around 3,500-5,000 – and if you have a 10% copay, that means 300-500. Most medicated births run between 6500-10000, and most cesareans run between 10000 and 25000 (do the math).

If you have medication, you are at an increased risk for cesarean and other interventions, raising your overall hospital stay costs.

If you are planning on a homebirth, most likely your insurance will not pay for it. If this is what you want, interview a homebirth midwife and let her know what type of insurance you have – she will be able to tell you if she takes your insurance or not. Homebirth, though, costs around 1500-3000 on average.

Unlike a pp said, unmedicated birth is not horrible. I have had all 5 of mine naturally. No traumatic pain. And, unmedicated birth LOWERS your chances of tearing, lowers your chances of blood loss, and shortens your recovery time – making it safer to do and faster to heal.

Homebirth with a qualified professional is a GREAT option. It is shown to be statistically as safe if not SAFER than hospital birth for a healthy and low-risk woman (note: healthy and low-risk).
