Child birth costs my parents paid for me: ~$30 Child birth costs some friends paid for their kid: ~$60 Child birth costs I paid for my kid (poor insurance plan): ~$3300 I think that the total bill for the child birth (in my instance) was around $18K. I'll note that if you were uninsured, that would probably be significantly more. That $18K cost is negotiated between the hospital and the health plan I had at the time.
