Fantastic flick.



It cost me $2600 for my first at a birthing center, and $2200 for an attended home birth the second time around. Both costs included all prenatal care with midwives.

If I had had insurance through an employer, it would have been covered same as if I had gone through a hospital, but I had a lot more say about every aspect of my prenatal care, delivery, and postnatal choices going through midwives.

And both kiddos haven't been all that expensive afterwards either, as I haven't had to bother with formula costs or pesky recurring diaper costs. :D

My oldest is starting to cost me a bit more as I have her enrolled in swimming and dance classes now. My girls are the only grandbabies in the family, so I almost never have to shell out for clothes and toys --- grandmas love to do that! hehehe
