So sorry for what happened to you. Can relate a bit. A few months ago, when we learned that my wife would have to get a C-section, we tried getting an estimate for how much it would cost - asked doctors, nurses, hospital staff, insurance company, etc. No one could or would tell us, not even give us a range. Our best guess was to read online articles, which don't really help very much (unless you are into stressing yourself out). It's been 5 months after the C-section now and we still haven't gotten the bill. Our insurance agent told us it looks like it's going to be $85k total before coverage, and we have no idea how much we'll have to pay out of that. Btw, this was in SF which apparently is the most expensive city in the US where to give birth :(
