My wife just gave birth. The bill is not in, but her pregancy we are estimating at 50k-100k. She was admitted to hospital at week 20 and gave birth at week 28.

We have twins, that does not increase the cost of the pregancy, but now we have two kids in two different ICUs (one had complications so was transferred to a surgical hospital).

Twin A is in week 8 at a level 3 NICU. I am sure his bill will come out to 150k or 200k for around a 10-12 week stay.

Twin B spent 6 weeks in same level 3 NICU. Guessing that stay will cost 100k. He is now in a different level 3 NICU which is probably going to cost 100-200k for an 8 week stay.

Obviously my numbers will scare you, that is why we have insurance. All that money each of you pays to Aetna helps fund our boys. Thank you.
