MINNEAPOLIS — Minnesota is a top state for women to give birth in, according to a study published Monday.
Nationwide, the average conventional birth costs more than $2,600 for mothers with insurance and nearly $15,000 for mothers without insurance, according to the report from WalletHub.
The study used 31 key measures of cost, healthcare accessibility, and baby-friendliness.
Factors included conventional delivery charges at hospitals to average annual infant-care costs to the number of pediatricians per capita.
Minnesota came out as No. 3 in the nation after the rankings were calculated:
Having a Baby in Minnesota
- Overall Rank: 3rd
- 25th – Hospital Cesarean-Delivery Charges
- 20th – Hospital Conventional-Delivery Charges
- 26th – Avg. Annual Cost of Early Child Care

- 9th – Rate of low birth weight
- 10th – Midwives & OB-GYNs per Capita
- 8th – Pediatricians & Family Medicine Physicians per Capita
- 16th – Parental-Leave Policy Score
The top five states for giving birth, according to the study, are:
- Massachusetts
- North Dakota
- Minnesota
- Rhode Island
- New Hampshire
The bottom five are:
- Georgia

MINNEAPOLIS — It was just after 7 p.m. at East 26th Street and Cedar Avenue last Saturday when Cristina Sobotta said her 20-year-old son was approached by a group attempting to rob him. Her son ran.
“That’s when they started shooting at him,” said Sobotta.
Two bullets struck her son.
“There were 24 rounds that were shot at him,” said Sobotta.
Employees at a nearby convenience store did a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
Sobotta said one of the shots went through her son’s left elbow, another grazed his sternum and went through his right arm, shattering the bone and requiring a blood transfusion.
“I was just really praying that he survived something like that,” said Cristina Sobotta. “I’m just grateful that he’s still alive.”
While Sobotta’s son’s injuries are healing, the mental damage from the attack still lingers.
“He’s doing OK, I just think that it’s going to be a long journey for him physically and emotionally,” said Sobotta.
The attack in East Phillips was one of 10 violent incidents that Minneapolis police said left three men dead and seven others injured over a period of three days in July.
After enlisting the help of the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Minnesota BCA to assist with patrols and investigations, police said Sunday that all ten of those incidents remain open and active.
The mother of one of those victims said she is now raising money to move.
“I didn’t really have it in the means to move out of the city,” said Sobotta.
She has started an online fundraiser to make it happen.
“I just want change, you know, just like any other mother would, especially going through something like this,” said Sobotta.
While the mental health worker with the American Indian Community is planning to leave the area, she said her work in East Phillips will continue.
“Just to spread change and awareness to our community and to do whatever we can to make it safer,” said Sobotta.
