Many married couples dream of having a baby to complete their small family. Indeed, having children is one of the most beautiful moments in life. There are many preparations needed before having children, including financial preparations. Make sure you are ready to spend money on all major expenses during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.

Big Expenses Related to Pregnancy, Childbirth and Postpartum? 

1. Costs of pregnancy check

Consulting an obstetrician to ensure that the fetus grows and develops as the gestational age progresses and is always in good condition cannot be done just once.

You need to prepare consultation fees at least at the beginning of pregnancy, every time you enter a new trimester and of course when labor arrives. Please remember, also consult with an obstetrician if signs of pregnancy problems and reproductive health problems appear. Consultation costs vary, usually depending on the region and hospital chosen (reference: Halodoc).

2. Other costs outside the obstetrician consultation fee

Make sure you also prepare money for other necessary costs. Common costs that commonly arise during pregnancy include costs for ultrasound, vitamins to be consumed before giving birth and laboratory examinations (reference: Nerd Wallet). Just like doctor consultation fees, these supporting fees also vary depending on various factors.

3. Labor costs

The birthing process costs a lot of money. Just the way you want, you can choose to have a normal birth or caesarean section. The costs will differ, not only because of the type of surgery you choose, but also because of factors such as the hospital and the type of treatment room. Prepare funds in the range of millions of rupiah just for the cost of delivering a baby itself.

4. Postpartum costs

After giving birth, it turns out there are still costs that you need to prepare money for. You and your baby still need to see a doctor. Especially in the early months after the baby is born. Make sure you have regular check-ups at least every month to make sure everything is fine.
