@The Eternal Anglo babies are cheaper than living without them. The only costs are with copays. If you have some complications (we had an ambulance ride for example) you may pay 600 for the birth but likely less.
Also for the time being, I like being around people's younger siblings so its nice to experience that since I never really had a younger sibling I was close with and its very fulfilling
They do in my experience, even the most degenerate people I know say they want kids one day, even if they say "eventually" I haven't met too many people that are adamant about no kids
My ambulance ride was non-emergency after the birth, just standard discharge procedure from the birth center because my blood pressure was slightly elevated. We paid less than $300 for the ride and the monitoring at the hospital.
Birth centers and home births are always going to be cheaper because those facilities don't have the overhead costs of hospitals. I've read of people with no insurance at all paying 3k for a home birth, prenatal midwifery included.
What exactly is the advantage of giving birth at a hospital opposed to an at home birth barring the child being choked by the umbilical cord/emergency situation
High risk moms must give birth in hospital by law (specifics vary by state). This includes conditions like gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, multiparity (twins+). If you want an epidural you must be in a hospital.
@missliterallywho that is a good tip, thank you. Any lady that can stand me enough to reproduce would probably be somewhat innawoods anyway. So I will remember about birth centers
