1. Every woman and pregnancy is treated like a high-risk pregnancy.

2. It's expensive.

3. There are too many interventions.

4. Women aren't educated about their choices. The risks and benefits are unknown when making potentially life-changing decisions.

Hospital  v. Out of Hospital Costs

Consider your deductible (usually 3,000-10,000), the costs and the type of plan you have, 80/20 or 70/30.

​

Remember, you will pay 20-30% of the bill AFTER your deductible.
