Uh, I'm going to agree with whomever said before that your insurance sucks.
My 2nd childbirth, in 2012, was $14k. That's the full price, I didn't pay any of it.
Now, that was without an epidural and only 1 day in the hospital. So let's say you have a vag birth with an epidural and stay 2 nights, then maybe add $4k.
So, $18k. That's not good insurance.
NOW, you mentioned a follow up operation? That's extra. You see, even my good insurance has a "copay" for an inpatient thing, but if you get out and go back in, it resets.
