How much does it cost to have a normal birth?

Having a baby is something that every pregnant mother is very anxious and looking forward to, and many pregnant mothers are also very concerned about the cost of having a baby. So, how much does it cost to have a baby? Because each pregnant mother chooses a different delivery method and is also affected by the specific circumstances of the pregnant woman's delivery, the cost of having a child depends on the specific circumstances.

How much does it cost to have a baby?

There are two types of childbirth for pregnant women: natural birth and cesarean section. The cost of choosing natural birth is lower, generally around 1,500 to 3,000 yuan. The cost of caesarean section is relatively high, generally costing more than 3,500 yuan. If you choose labor analgesia or an unconventional delivery method (such as water birth), the cost will increase.

Of course, the above costs vary from hospital to hospital and from city to city.

Medical insurance can be used to reimburse children

Maternity insurance is a type of insurance created by the state to transform the burden of women's pregnancy from the employer's obligation to the entire enterprise, balance the burden among companies, reduce the cost of employers hiring women, and promote the elimination of age discrimination in student employment. Therefore, maternity insurance is paid by the company, not the employees themselves.

Social security payers should fill out the maternity insurance salary and benefits declaration form within three months after the pregnant woman gives birth or has an abortion, and bring the following valid documents to the personal social security handling personnel unit to collect the maternity insurance salary and benefits: (original and A4 paper photocopy), both parties' identity documents; (2) marriage certificate; (3) birth permit; (4) birth certificate or medical certificate of miscarriage or death; (5) only child pending certificate; (6) disease diagnosis certificate; (7) initial tax invoice;
