Yeah I'm not the guy that advocates for kids or anything and definitely have my share of regret in that area, but we have pretty basic insurance in the US and the entire cost of the pregnancy was $200 out of pocket, not including parking. Every doctor visit, the delivery, and our own recovery room.

A coworker who is insured through his wife just had a little girl last week and actually only had to do copays for prenatal prescriptions. Oh and parking. They always fuck you there.

E. I asked another buddy just for shits and he paid ~$1200 flat rate for each of his three kids delivery with a few hundred each prenatal. Expensive but manageable at least.
