The medical insurance is typically really good too. When my fiancé quit her job due to the hazards of working retail it turned out that for only 200 more a month we could retain her insurance and shave 12000 off the cost of having a baby. They pay for IVF too if we need it which is normally a six figure procedure.

Having a baby was otherwise so expensive we weren’t sure we could afford it.

IVF shouldn't cost six figures. When we did it, it was about $12K.

That's about what it cost my friends.

As I commented, we didn't pay that much.

The drugs are separate, but I think we paid around $5K for them.

Now if you're unlucky, you might have to go through multiple cycles, but our specialist only charged us the base cost. We had to pay for the additional drugs however.
