Having a baby can be expensive, what with hospital, obstetrics and other health fees adding up as the week’s progress. That’s why having health insurance to cover your pregnancy is a smart move, especially considering that around 13% of women who get pregnant each year don’t have adequate coverage.
It has been estimated that the average cost of prenatal care and delivery is around $6,000 to $8,000 for a healthy pregnancy with no complications. Of course these costs would increase dramatically for high risk pregnancies.
