About 12% of the 100 million U.S. adults with health care debt attribute at least some of it to pregnancy or childbirth. These people are more likely to report they've had to take on extra work, change their living situation, or make other sacrifices.
Overall, women between 18 and 35 who have had a baby in the past year and a half are twice as likely to have medical debt as women of the same age who haven't given birth recently.
You feel bad for the patient because you know that they want the best for their pregnancy. So often, they may be coming to the office or the hospital with preexisting debt.
