Having a baby can get expensive fast. Between baby gear, medical costs, parental leave, childcare, and postpartum support, how do you know where your money is actually worth spending?
In this episode of Chick Chat, Nina is joined by fellow doula and Gold Coast Doulas founder Kristin Revere to talk about the real cost of having a baby. They discuss where expecting parents tend to overspend, what’s actually worth the investment, hidden expenses that can catch new parents by surprise, and the support families often wish they had budgeted for before baby arrived.
Nina also gives Kristin a challenge: If you had $5,000 to prepare an expecting family for life with a newborn, how would you spend it?
They also dive into why parents may spend thousands on baby gear but hesitate to invest in childbirth education, birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, or pelvic floor therapy; financial conversations couples should have before baby; and benefits and resources families may not realize are available to them.
If you’re expecting and wondering what you really need, what you can skip, and how to make your baby budget work harder for your growing family, this episode is for you.
