A new analysis from WalletHub indicates 2014’s best and worst states to have a baby. The results are aimed towards helping prospective parents determine potential costs and expenses associated with having a baby.

Having a baby is costly, between one-time expenses such as strollers and cribs as well as continuing costs such as diapers and formula.

A report from the International Federation of Health Plans indicates that families within the U.S. pay the highest birthing costs in the world. According to the report, the typical cost of a conventional delivery at a hospital in the U.S. is $9,775. The cost rises to $15,041 for a C-Section. In France, the price for a conventional delivery is much lower, at $3,541, while the price drops even further to just $2,641 in the U.K.

WalletHub’s analysis includes the best and worst states to have a baby considering budget as well as health care conditions and how baby-friendly each state is.

Among the metrics relevant to the three dimensions were delivery costs, number of child care centers per capita, and access to pediatric services. Each of the three dimensions was weighed equally.

Vermont was the most highly ranked state overall, coming in first under the category of health care for new moms and baby, and finishing in 21st place in budget rank and 12th in baby-friendly environment rank.

Maine and Oregon filled the second and third places, respectively, while Alabama placed last.
