When it comes to understanding maternity medical costs, one of the biggest and most expensive parts of your budget will be the hospital bill. Doing your research about baby costs ahead of time will help you be much more prepared. Getting answers to questions like “what does insurance cover?”, or “how much does an epidural cost?”, will reduce your overwhelm when the labor and delivery bill arrives.

Before the baby comes, it’s also wise to know how to pick a pediatrician. For some parents, it will be necessary to identify the support for babies with disabilities in your area too.

To make sure you understand the medical costs of having a baby and get the most out of your health insurance, we're bringing in Dr. Ashley Burkman. Dr. Burkman is a naturopathic physician and mom to twin boys, one of whom has special needs.
