[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren't C-sections generally more expensive? That's a reason to avoid them. I mean insurance will cover it, and then we all have continued rising insurance costs. [/quote] PP made a good point about lifetime costs, but c-sections are not even necessarily more expensive than a vaginal delivery with epidural. It's a short surgery, and a lot of the same people are in the room either way. You can choose to spend an extra night in the hospital but most women don't. Before someone comes waving their "insurance paid $×" statements -- insurance bills and reimbursement are negotiated to the point of being fictional. They are not a true cost of the service. You can call the hospital for a self-insured cash price. [/quote]
