    Having a baby is expensive, but how much does it really cost? Even with insurance supporting you, there can be a number of surprising costs. So how can parents to be plan for the bill? In today’s episode of Yoga|Birth|Babies I speak to naturopathic doctor Dr. Ashley Burkman whose personal experiences navigating health care costs have led her to speak on the topic of health care costs. Dr. Burkman discusses understanding what is covered by insurance (and how to figure this out), the No Surprises Act, deductibles, lowering the cost of birth, what to do if you don’t have insurance, and how to deal with medical bills.

    What is so overwhelming about the first 6 weeks of parenting? Well, to be honest, a lot! But it doesn’t have to mean struggling 24/7.

To tackle this subject today on Yoga | Birth | Babies I have Jen Mayer. As a parent of 2, Jen understands the challenges families face in a system not designed to support them. She is the founder of Baby Caravan- a service she launched in 2013 to support parents through pregnancy and early parenthood with holistic doula matching.
