Breast pump through insurance
Most private health plans must cover a breast pump. Check which pump your plan covers and have it shipped before your due date.
Older urban maternity wards where standard insurance only covers a shared two-bed postpartum room—meaning your partner may not be allowed to sleep overnight unless a paid private room ($650–$1,100/night) is available at delivery.
We only list hospitals whose official website we've reviewed (23 so far). If yours isn't here, ask Labor & Delivery: "Which maternity hospitals still use shared semi-private postpartum rooms?"
