Topical Anesthesia
Mother is usually given local anesthesia during delivery. The drug is injected in the space around the spinal cord. It hardly spreads during the operation. Baby does not get any problem in that case. Some times the mother has to be given general anesthesia during the pregnancy. The baby also get the effect of anesthesia and recovers with the mother. Usually the safe drugs are used to do the procedure. At times the mother has to be given general anesthesia in the emergency and the baby also gets the dose of the drug. The anesthetist will manage the baby after delivery. At times the drugs may be risky. But the risk has to be taken to save the life of the mother.

The cost of labor and delivery varies from state to state, and from practice to practice, and between facilities as well. For a normal vaginal delivery with no complications, on average the physicians fees alone would be between $3000 - $3500. If there are any complications, or a c-section is required, it would be much more. Then there are the hospital fees to consider, and the fees for anesthesia, etc etc. If you have insurance (and a maternity rider) some or most of this should be covered depending on the type of coverage you have. If you are uninsured, you will need to try to get Medicaid, emergency Medicaid (to cover hospital expenses only), or try speaking with the administrator at the practice, and financial services at the hospital to work out the financial aspects of the prenatal visits and delivery, and post-partum follow up care. It's best to take care of it now rather than later.
