I went to go refill a prescription for my BC (nuvaring) and it would have cost $36.00 for one when I was paying $15.00 per month otherwise.

You can anticipate an average hospital bill of $5,000-$10,000 for a vaginal delivery. Add at least $2,000 if you need a c-section. A newborn will go through eight to twelve diapers a day for the first few months of life. That equals from 300 to 400 diapers a month. This means you will need to set aside from $75-$125 a month just for disposable diapers. If you intend to feed your baby formula rather than breast milk, you can add another $100 a month to your budget for formula. you can expect to spend anywhere from $100 a week to more than $800 a week for the care of a newborn.
Pay the $36.00.
