How much does a C section birth cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This answer depends on so many factors: in which area of the country the person lives, how much the hospital charges for various services, whether or not the woman had a vaginal or caesarian birth, whether or not anesthesia was consulted (for an epidural or other medication), the length of the hospital stay, whether or not there are any complications, and the type of insurance the person has. Hospitals tend to charge a large sum, and the insurance companies agree to pay a certain portion of that. Most insurance companies make their subscribers pay a portion of the bill--sometimes this is a fixed amount per year, and other times, it is a percentage of the total (such as 20% of each hospitalization). It is not surprising to have a $10,000 bill for a completely normal, uncomplicated pregnancy; but again, insurance usually pays the majority of that. If a person does not have insurance, often it helps to discuss this with a hospital and the physicians who will be involved in advance and try to come to an agreement on how much she will be responsible for after the delivery. Hope this helps! Dr. B.

Can you be put to sleep during a c-section?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can. But the mother will only be knocked out if there are specific risks or if a mother has heavy, uncontrolled breathing and can't tolerate local anesthesia. But doctors normally use local anesthesia (which keeps the patient awake, but temporarily paralyzed) because it allows the mother to be awake and immediately interact with her child.

Is a Caesarean section C-section easier than giving birth naturally?

User Avatar

Asked by Lifesnadir

If by "natural birth" you mean vaginal birth (as opposed to drug free vaginal birth) then the recovery from a Cesarean is much longer and more painful. With an epidural the labor and birthing themselves are not painful in both cases.
